Young, rich and intelligent, Gallia Hamesthwaite embraces the dictates of reason and shuns the impulses of passion. She must choose between sensible rational marriage and sensual romantic love; but in pursuing the pleasure of a logical life, she must also endure the pain of emotional sacrifice.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 222 pages. Cover worn. Text tanned. Ever since their only chi ld Gallia decided to get a university education about five years ago, Lord and Lady Hamesthwaite have been carefully watching thei r daughter's silent alienation from their world and have had thei r doubts if she will ever consent to marry one of the eligible yo ung men that present themselves to the family. Gallia is attracti ve, healthy and clever but all the men around her agree that she never behaves in an easy-going, coquettish manner. Family and fri ends are occasionally shocked by the topics she chooses for polit e conversation, such as politics or sex. Since her Oxford days, G allia has known Hubert Essex, who has embarked on an academic car eer and does research on Darwinian theory. It is Essex with whom Gallia genuinely falls in love. Her honesty compels her to confes s her love for him, and she is devastated when she is rejected by Essex. When he tells her bluntly that his life has no need of he r, Gallia knows that she will never be able to experience romanti c love again. What Essex omits from his speech is the fact that h e is suffering from a hereditary heart condition and that he is v ery likely to die young. When Gallia is introduced to Mark Gurdon , an ambitious social climber who wants to get ahead within the B ritish Civil Service, and when she realizes that he is handsome, healthy, and virile, she chooses him to be the father of her futu re child, or children. Gurdon, whose guiding principle in life is decency, is keeping a mistress in a studio flat in London who re sorts to a self-induced abortion to terminate a pregnancy just at the time when Gurdon starts being attracted by Gallia. But Galli a does not mind: when he proposes to her, she accepts but makes i t clear right from the start that she will never be able to love him. Seller Inventory # 2405aj
