Produktbeschreibung
""Double Harness"" by Anthony Hope provides an exploration of marriage, revealing the necessity of collaboration, mutual respect, and personal growth for a relationship to thrive. The novel delves into the complexities of partnership, showing that a successful marriage requires more than just love-it demands compromise, understanding, and the ability to evolve together. While seemingly a romance, the book also confronts much darker, often unspoken issues of the time, such as child abuse, spousal abuse, infidelity, and abortion. These themes are addressed with surprising depth and frankness for the period, making the novel stand out as both gritty and progressive in its treatment of serious social issues. In doing so, Hope moves beyond the typical romantic tropes of turn-of-the-century literature, offering readers a raw and thought-provoking examination of the challenges and moral dilemmas faced within marriage and relationships. His willingness to tackle subjects gives the novel a strikingly modern sensibility, even for its time.
