Sweet Hours is a novel written by Carmen Sylva and first published in 1904. The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the life of a young woman named Gisela von Wartenberg. Gisela is a talented musician and artist who lives in a small village in Germany with her father, a retired army officer. Despite her artistic talents, Gisela is expected to marry and settle down like any other young woman of her time. However, she is determined to pursue her passions and make a name for herself in the world.As the story unfolds, Gisela falls in love with a young man named Max, who shares her love for music and art. However, their relationship is threatened by Max's overbearing mother, who disapproves of Gisela's unconventional ways. Gisela also faces opposition from her own father, who wants her to marry a wealthy nobleman instead of pursuing her dreams.Throughout the novel, Gisela struggles to balance her desire for independence with the expectations of society. She faces many challenges and setbacks along the way, but ultimately finds happiness and fulfillment in her art and her love for Max.Sweet Hours is a beautifully written and poignant novel that explores themes of love, passion, and the struggle for self-expression in a restrictive society. It is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
