Keeping Up Appearances is a novel written by Maximilian Foster and first published in 1914. The story is set in New York City during the early 20th century and follows the lives of the wealthy and privileged elite. The main character, John Harcourt, is a successful businessman who has everything he could ever want, including a beautiful wife, a luxurious home, and a prestigious social status.However, despite his seemingly perfect life, John is unhappy and unfulfilled. He feels trapped by the expectations of his social circle and longs for something more meaningful. When he meets a young woman named Helen, who is from a very different background, he begins to question his priorities and values.As John and Helen's relationship deepens, they must navigate the disapproval of their respective social circles and confront the prejudices and class divisions that threaten to keep them apart. Along the way, they both learn valuable lessons about love, sacrifice, and the true meaning of happiness.Keeping Up Appearances is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that explores themes of class, identity, and personal fulfillment. Foster's vivid descriptions of New York City and its high society provide a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, while his nuanced characters and complex relationships make for a compelling and emotionally resonant story.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
