Dearest is a novel written by Mrs. Forrester and published in 1893. The story revolves around the lives of two sisters, Grace and Marion Harcourt, who are orphaned and left in the care of their uncle, Mr. Harcourt. Grace is the elder sister and is portrayed as a beautiful and kind-hearted woman, while Marion is younger and more selfish. The novel begins with the sisters' arrival at their uncle's home, where they are met with hostility from their cousin, Edith, who is jealous of their beauty and charm. Despite this, Grace and Marion quickly settle into their new life and become popular in society. The plot takes a dramatic turn when Grace falls in love with a young artist named Guy Thornton. However, their happiness is short-lived when Mr. Harcourt forbids the relationship and arranges for Grace to marry a wealthy but cruel man named Lord Southmoor. The rest of the novel follows Grace's struggle to come to terms with her loveless marriage and her feelings for Guy. Meanwhile, Marion becomes increasingly selfish and manipulative, causing tension within the family. Dearest is a classic Victorian novel that explores themes of love, family, and social status. It is a compelling story that will keep readers engaged until the very end.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
