The Hand But Not The Heart (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419165283)

""The Hand But Not The Heart"" is a novel by T.S. Arthur that was first published in 1850. The story follows the life of a young woman named Clara, who is forced into a loveless marriage with a wealthy but cruel man named Mr. Dexter. Despite her unhappiness, Clara remains committed to her marriage and tries to make the best of her situation. However, when she meets a kind and compassionate man named Frank, she begins to question her loyalty to her husband and her own sense of morality. As the story unfolds, Clara must decide whether to follow her heart or to remain true to her marriage vows, and the consequences of her decision have far-reaching implications for her future happiness and well-being. ""The Hand But Not The Heart"" is a powerful examination of the complexities of love, marriage, and personal responsibility, and it remains a classic of American literature to this day.Miss Loring is not happy, and the shadow upon her spirit grows darker every day. Before this engagement, her glad soul looked ever out in beauty from her eyes; now--but I need not describe to you the change. You have noted its progress. It is an extreme conclusion that her heart is not in the alliance she is about to form.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
