Sylvia’s Marriage is a novel written by Sinclair Upton and originally published in 1914. The book tells the story of Sylvia Castleman, a young woman who is determined to marry for love rather than for money or social status. Sylvia’s father, a wealthy businessman, disapproves of her choice of husband and tries to force her to marry a wealthy but unlovable man. Sylvia defies her father and marries her true love, a struggling artist named Gordon Heath. The story follows Sylvia and Gordon’s marriage as they struggle to make ends meet and pursue their passions. Despite their love for each other, their marriage is tested by financial difficulties, social pressures, and personal insecurities. Sylvia’s father continues to interfere in their lives, and Sylvia must confront her own doubts about her decision to marry for love.Throughout the novel, Sinclair Upton explores themes of love, marriage, class, and the struggle for individual freedom. The book offers a glimpse into the social and cultural mores of early 20th-century America, as well as a timeless exploration of the human heart and its desires. Overall, Sylvia’s Marriage is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
