Synopsis
A sharp, shimmering pulse under genteel drawing-room manners. Alas! A Novel Part - I opens a window onto a world where whispered rumours shape lives and desire challenges decorum, inviting readers to step into Victorian England with breathheld anticipation. This restored edition brings Rhoda Broughton's keen social perception to vibrant life. The form blends brisk social comedy with intimate intrigue, offering a layered tale of marriage schemes, discreet loyalties, and the tightrope walk between personal fulfilment and public expectation. For casual readers, the brisk pace and vivid London society scenes spark immediate engagement; for classic-literature collectors, the tonal precision, moral tension, and historical texture offer rich material for revisiting a master of british romance and social fiction victorian tradition. It is a work that rewards patient rereading, rewarding discovery of its quiet rebellions against gender roles victorian society and its finely drawn portraits of desire, reputation, and consequence. Note on literary and historical significance: Broughton's fiction illuminates the social currents of the era, and this edition foregrounds themes that resonate with today's readers while preserving the cadence of Victorian prose. Selling points: - Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. - Restored for today's and future generations. - More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
