Taken Or Left (1885) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781167190810)

Taken or Left is a novel written by Mrs. Walton and published in 1885. The story revolves around the life of a young girl named Maud, who is orphaned and left in the care of her uncle and aunt. Maud's uncle is a wealthy businessman who is more interested in his own affairs than in taking care of his niece. Maud's aunt, on the other hand, is kind and caring but has no say in the household. Maud is left to fend for herself and is often mistreated by her uncle. As Maud grows up, she falls in love with a young man named Frank. However, her uncle disapproves of the match and forbids her from seeing Frank. Maud is torn between her love for Frank and her duty to obey her uncle. Eventually, Maud's uncle dies, and she is left with a large inheritance. This gives her the freedom to marry Frank and start a new life. The novel explores themes of love, duty, and the struggle for independence. It also provides a glimpse into the social norms and expectations of the time period in which it was written. Overall, Taken or Left is a compelling story of a young woman's journey to find happiness and fulfillment in a world that is often unjust and unforgiving.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
