The Happiest Time Of Their Lives is a novel written by Alice Duer Miller. The story revolves around two women, Mary and Jane, who are friends from childhood. They both marry men they love and settle down to start families. However, as their lives progress, they find themselves facing unexpected challenges and struggles that test their relationships and their own sense of self.Mary's husband is a successful businessman who becomes increasingly distant and unfaithful. She struggles to maintain her own identity and find fulfillment outside of her role as a wife and mother. Meanwhile, Jane's husband is a struggling artist who becomes increasingly frustrated with his lack of success. He turns to alcohol and begins to neglect his family, leaving Jane to pick up the pieces and try to hold everything together.As the years pass, Mary and Jane's friendship is tested as they navigate the ups and downs of their marriages and their own personal growth. The novel explores themes of love, friendship, marriage, and the challenges of balancing personal fulfillment with societal expectations.Overall, The Happiest Time Of Their Lives is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that offers a nuanced look at the complexities of relationships and the pursuit of happiness.In the hall he had shaken hands with Mr. Lanley and had kissed Mathilde, who, do what she would, couldn't help choking a little. All this time Adelaide stood on the stairs, very erect, with one hand on the stair-rail and one on the wall, not only her eyes, but her whole face, radiating an uplifted peace. So angelic and majestic did she seem that Mathilde, looking up at her, would hardly have been surprised if she had floated out into space from her vantage-ground on the staircase.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
