Irene's Dower is a novel written by Charles Collinet Deslys and first published in 1878. The story follows the life of Irene, a young woman who inherits a large fortune from her father. However, her newfound wealth brings with it a number of challenges and difficulties, including the unwanted attention of men who seek to marry her for her money rather than her love.As Irene navigates these challenges, she must also confront her own feelings and desires, including her love for a man who may not be interested in her for anything other than her wealth. Along the way, she discovers the true meaning of happiness and fulfillment, and learns to trust her own instincts and follow her heart.Set in the late 19th century, Irene's Dower offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the era, as well as the challenges faced by women who sought to assert their independence and autonomy in a male-dominated world. With its engaging characters, richly detailed setting, and timeless themes of love, wealth, and self-discovery, this novel remains a classic of Victorian literature and a must-read for fans of historical fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
