A Bride Of The Plains — Baroness Emmuska Orczy

A BRIDE OF THE PLAINS....IS A A GOOD HISTORICAL ROMANCE NOVEL. THE SCENE IS SET IN HUNGARY AND IN THE VILLAGE CLOSE TO THE MAROS...HERE WE FIND A GOOD WHOLESOME OLD FASHIONED ROMANCE!• This volume includes a “Detailed Biography” of our author, Baroness Emma Orczy.Here is the story of Elsa, a Hungarian peasant around the turn of the century. Her true love is presumed dead, and she has been persuaded to marry a wealthy, loutish, churlish neighbor. Then she discovers that her beloved Andor is not really dead after all. Add in a flirtatious neighbor girl (Klara) and her jealous fiancée and you have all the makings of an old-fashioned romance.And it is old-fashioned, in its ethics and its prejudices. What else can you call it when the heroine agrees to marry a man she does not love – just because her mother told her to and because she promised she would? Its original audience would have found it sad, and a little silly, but also honorable and admirable. A modern reader would call this “stupid.”Looking for another good book?
