Description
Published in 1818, Marriage is a witty and insightful novel by one of Scotland's most celebrated writers. Lady Juliana rejects her father's arranged marriage to secure her family's future, choosing instead to follow her heart with a penniless soldier. The consequences of this decision are revealed over the course of two generations, as the author skillfully observes the complexities of women's lives.
Through the eyes of Lady Juliana and her daughter Mary, Ferrier explores the challenges faced by women in 19th-century society, from the constraints of marriage to the difficulties of raising children. With a keen eye for detail and a sharp wit, she crafts a humorous and engaging portrait of life in the Scottish highlands.
