Beschreibung

Made Or Marred is a novel written by Jessie Fothergill and published in 1881. The story follows the lives of two sisters, Hester and Margaret Thornton, who are raised in a wealthy family in the English countryside. Hester is the beautiful and charming sister, while Margaret is plain and practical. When Hester falls in love with a handsome young man named Jack, Margaret is left to manage the family estate and care for their aging mother. However, Jack's true intentions are not what they seem, and his presence in the sisters' lives leads to a series of events that threaten to destroy their family and their future. As the sisters struggle to navigate their way through love, loyalty, and betrayal, they must ultimately decide whether their lives will be made or marred by the choices they make. Fothergill's novel is a compelling exploration of the complexities of family relationships, the challenges of love and marriage, and the power of personal integrity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Jessie Fothergill was an English novelist. Her novel, The First Violin, did particularly well. Publishers rejected it because a wife commits adultery, something they did not think readers would welcome. They were wrong. Fothergill was born in June 1851 in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, as the eldest child of cotton trader Thomas Fothergill and his wife Anne. He had formerly been a Quaker. Anne was the daughter of Burnley residents William and Judith Coultate. (Jess Fothergill's sister Catherine also wrote novels, which were published between 1883 and 1898.) When she was younger, the Fothergills relocated to Bowdon, Cheshire, where she attended a private school before moving to Harrogate to attend boarding school there. Jessie, Caroline, and two friends stayed in Düsseldorf, Germany, for 15 months in 1874. When she returned to England, she published her first novel, Healey, in 1875, having already begun her third novel, The First Violin (1876), which earned Fothergill's name but was initially published anonymously to protect her family. Inspired by her 15 months of music studies in Dusseldorf, it tells the narrative of a 17-year-old English girl who rejects the attentions of a wealthy landowner in order to become a lady's companion and travel to "Elberthal" for voice training.
