''An Inheritance'' is a novel written by Harriet Prescott Spofford. It tells the story of a young woman named Marcia who inherits a fortune from her wealthy uncle. However, her newfound wealth comes with a catch: she must marry her cousin, Bernard, in order to keep the inheritance. Marcia is reluctant to marry Bernard, as she is in love with another man, but she ultimately agrees to the arrangement. As she settles into her new life, Marcia discovers that her inheritance has also brought her a number of enemies who are determined to see her fail. She must navigate the complex social dynamics of her wealthy family while also dealing with the threats to her fortune and her happiness.Throughout the novel, Spofford explores themes of love, money, and power, as well as the ways in which these forces can shape our lives and relationships. With its vivid characters and gripping plot, ''An Inheritance'' is a compelling portrait of life among the wealthy in nineteenth-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.
