Omschrijving

Outrageous Fortune is a novel written by Edgar Fawcett and first published in 1894. The story follows the lives of two sisters, Margery and Edith, who come from a wealthy family in New York City. Margery is beautiful, intelligent, and ambitious, while Edith is plain, unremarkable, and content with her simple life. As the sisters grow older, Margery becomes increasingly obsessed with achieving success and social status, while Edith remains steadfast in her values and beliefs. Margery's pursuit of wealth and power leads her down a dark path, filled with deceit, betrayal, and scandal. Meanwhile, Edith finds love and happiness with a kind and honest man, but her sister's actions threaten to destroy everything she holds dear.The novel explores themes of greed, ambition, and the corrupting influence of wealth and power. It also delves into the complex relationships between siblings and the importance of staying true to oneself in the face of societal pressures. Overall, Outrageous Fortune is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of high society in late 19th century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
