Broken Dreams is a novel written by Celia Emmeline Gardner and was first published in 1873. The story is set in the Victorian era and follows the life of a young woman named Edith Vernon. Edith is a beautiful and intelligent young lady who is born into a wealthy family. Her parents have high expectations for her and hope that she will marry well and bring honor to their family.However, Edith’s life takes a dramatic turn when she falls in love with a young man named Frank. Frank is not from a wealthy family, and his social status is not up to the standards of Edith’s family. Despite this, Edith and Frank are deeply in love and plan to marry.Edith’s parents are strongly against the marriage, and they do everything in their power to stop it from happening. They threaten to disown Edith if she goes through with the marriage, and they even go as far as to arrange a marriage for her with a wealthy and influential man.Edith is torn between her love for Frank and her loyalty to her family. She struggles to make a decision, and her dreams of a happy future with Frank are shattered. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and social class, and it offers a glimpse into the Victorian era’s strict societal norms.Overall, Broken Dreams is a compelling novel that will appeal to readers who enjoy historical fiction and romantic dramas. It is a timeless story that explores the complexities of love and the challenges of following one’s heart in the face of societal expectations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
