A Lady of Leisure is a novel written by Ethel Sidgwick and published in 1914. The story revolves around the life of a young woman named Monica, who is born into a wealthy family and lives a life of luxury and idleness. Monica's days are filled with social events, shopping sprees, and trips to the countryside. However, as she grows older, Monica begins to feel unfulfilled and bored with her life. She yearns for something more meaningful and decides to take up charity work. Through her work, Monica meets a young man named Peter, who is involved in social reform. Monica falls in love with Peter and becomes passionate about his cause. Together, they work to improve the lives of the less fortunate in their community. However, Monica's family disapproves of her involvement with Peter and tries to break them apart. The novel explores themes of class, love, and social responsibility, and offers a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and privileged during the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
