A Rational Marriage is a novel written by Florence Marryat and published in 1899. The story revolves around the main character, Lady Adela Lancing, who is a wealthy and independent woman living in Victorian England. Adela is a strong-willed woman who is determined to marry for love and not for money or social status. However, her father, Lord Lancing, has other plans for her and wants her to marry a wealthy and titled man named Sir John Bellamy.Adela meets and falls in love with a young artist named Leonard St. Clair, but her father disapproves of him because he is not wealthy or of high social status. Adela must choose between following her heart and defying her father or marrying Sir John to please her family.The novel explores themes of love, marriage, class, and gender roles in Victorian society. It also challenges the traditional views of marriage and the role of women in society.
