''An Innocent'' is a novel written by Sidney Mary Sitwell and published in 1884. The story revolves around the life of a young girl named Rosamond, who is raised in a sheltered and privileged environment. Rosamond is innocent and naive, and her life is turned upside down when she is forced to leave her comfortable home and live with her father’s estranged family in London. The novel explores the themes of class, gender, and family relationships. Rosamond’s experiences in London expose her to the harsh realities of life, and she is forced to confront the prejudices and biases of her family and society. Along the way, she meets a cast of characters, including her cousin, the ambitious and manipulative Edith, and the kind-hearted but socially ostracized Mrs. Merton. Through Rosamond’s journey, the novel offers a critique of the rigid social hierarchies of Victorian England and the limitations placed on women’s lives. It also highlights the importance of empathy, compassion, and understanding in human relationships. Overall, ''An Innocent'' is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that provides a window into the social and cultural mores of Victorian England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
