The Pigeon Pie is a novel written by Charlotte Mary Yonge and published in 1905. The story takes place in the late 18th century and revolves around the life of a young woman named Lucilla Marjoribanks. Lucilla is an independent and strong-willed woman who is determined to make her own decisions in life, despite the expectations of society.The novel begins with Lucilla returning home to England after spending several years abroad with her father. She is excited to be back in her hometown of Carlingford and is eager to reconnect with her old friends and acquaintances. However, she soon discovers that many things have changed in her absence, and she must navigate a new set of social norms and expectations.One of the central plot points of the novel is Lucilla's relationship with her cousin, Everard. Everard is a wealthy and influential man who is determined to marry Lucilla, despite her reluctance. Lucilla is torn between her love for Everard and her desire for independence, and the novel explores the complex dynamics of their relationship.Another important aspect of the story is the role of women in society. Lucilla is a strong and independent woman, but she must constantly fight against the expectations of society, which dictate that women should be submissive and obedient. The novel highlights the challenges that women faced during this time period and the ways in which they sought to assert their independence and autonomy.Overall, The Pigeon Pie is a compelling novel that explores themes of love, independence, and societal expectations. With its vivid characters and rich historical setting, it offers a fascinating glimpse into life in 18th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
