Excerpt from Lavinia
"I shall never get over it."
This is a phrase that has issued from the same lips very often before; and in general Lavinia Carew listens to it silently, in the impatient confidence that at her next visit to Mrs. Prince, that lady will have got over "it" so completely as to have forgotten that "it" ever existed. She is silent now, but from an opposite reason to that which has hitherto tied her tongue. In her opinion neither Mrs. Prince nor any other Mrs. or Miss could ever get over the "it" in question.
"And coming on this joyful day too - a day, I mean, that is so joyful to every one else in England - that would have been so joyful to us, but for this!" The speaker breaks off with a whimper.
"The anniversary of Majuba Hill!"

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complexities of love, family, and social expectations in late Victorian England. Lavinia, a young woman of privilege, is caught between the conflicting demands of her family and her own desires. Her engagement to her cousin, Rupert, seems inevitable, yet their relationship is strained by his lack of ambition and her own longing for a more passionate life. The author crafts a portrait of a society grappling with the changing roles of women, the pressures of class and wealth, and the impact of war. The narrative delves into themes of duty, sacrifice, and the enduring power of love in the face of personal tragedy.
