''Allina Grey: Or The Decision'' is a novel written by G. M. Sterne and first published in 1867. The story follows the life of Allina Grey, a young woman who is orphaned at a young age and raised by her aunt and uncle. Allina is a strong-willed and independent character who is determined to make her own way in the world despite the obstacles she faces.The novel is set in the mid-19th century and explores the themes of love, family, and social class. Allina falls in love with a young man named Harry Lacy, but their relationship is complicated by the fact that Harry is from a higher social class than Allina. The novel also delves into the challenges faced by women in this time period, including limited opportunities for education and employment.Throughout the book, Allina must make difficult decisions that will shape her future. She must choose between following her heart and pursuing a life of love with Harry, or following the expectations of society and marrying a wealthy man who can provide for her. The book ultimately explores the idea of personal agency and the importance of making one’s own decisions in life.Overall, ''Allina Grey: Or The Decision'' is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the social norms and expectations of the mid-19th century, while also celebrating the strength and resilience of its female protagonist.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
