Produktbeschreibung
A gripping return from the shadows of late Victorian England, Alas! A Novel Part II sweeps readers into a world where passion, reputation, and class collide with wit and menace. It pulls you from London's fashionable drawing rooms into kitchens, parlours, and streets where every whispered rumour can alter a life. This restored edition offers a concise, immersive experience of romantic mystery and social satire, tracing delicate alliances and disruptive secrets that test marriage, faith, and identity. Broughton's deft handling of gender expectations and the social codes of the era reveals a world where appearances are meticulously curated, yet truth trembles beneath the surface. The novel thrives on domestic intrigue, the tension between desire and duty, and the sharp observations that made Victorian sensation fiction a cultural force. In historical terms, the work sits among the notable lines of late Victorian fiction, offering insight into London's upper circles and the anxieties of reputation. It rewards both casual readers and classic-literature collectors with its brisk pace, sharp humour, and moral ambiguities that invite discussion long after the last page. 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. This is quintessential classic literature for study, a mature reader's historical fiction that makes the past feel immediate and alive.
