The Unpretenders is a novel written by Ruth Cranston and first published in 1916. The story follows the lives of two young women, cousins Marian and Marjorie, who are orphaned and left to fend for themselves in the world. Despite their vastly different personalities, the two women are united in their desire to make a life for themselves that is free from the constraints of society and social conventions.As they navigate their way through the challenges of life, they encounter a cast of characters that includes a wealthy and powerful businessman, a struggling artist, and a group of bohemian intellectuals. Through their interactions with these people, Marian and Marjorie learn about love, friendship, and the importance of staying true to oneself.The Unpretenders is a novel that explores themes of individualism, self-discovery, and the search for meaning in a world that can often seem shallow and superficial. With its engaging characters and thought-provoking storyline, this book remains a classic of early 20th-century literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
