With sharp wit and emotional depth, Cholmondeley weaves a story of friendship tested by romance, ambition, and betrayal in an era marked by moral hypocrisy. This powerful novel critiques Victorian society while exploring the price of integrity and desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary Cholmondeley (1859-1925) was an English writer. Members of her family were involved in the literary world, notably her uncle Reginald Cholmondeley who was a friend of the American novelist, Mark Twain. Growing up, Mary Cholmondeley liked to tell stories to her siblings and turned to writing fiction as an escape from the monotony of her daily routine. Her diary showed that by the age of 18 she was already convinced she would never marry, lacking, she believed, the looks and the charms necessary to attract a suitable mate. Her first book was published under the title \u003cem\u003eHer Evil Genius\u003c\/em\u003e, and shortly thereafter, in 1886, her second work, \u003cem\u003eThe Danvers Jewels\u003c\/em\u003e, earned her a small but respectable following.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Cholmondeley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1434402533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781434402530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wildside Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Mary Cholmondeley","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48240987701503,"sku":"9781434402530","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b185f0a-66b3-4653-9ed7-60dd2724d2f8.jpg?v=1772652246","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/red-pottage-mary-cholmondeley-9781434402530","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
