The Planter's Northern Bride (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162704913)

The Planter's Northern Bride is a novel written by Caroline Lee Hentz, first published in 1854. The story is set in the American South and follows the life of a young woman named Katherine, who is from the North and marries a wealthy plantation owner named Arthur. Katherine struggles to adjust to her new life in the South, with its unfamiliar customs and social norms. She also faces challenges from within her own family, as her brother is a staunch abolitionist who disapproves of her marriage to a slave owner. As Katherine navigates these difficulties, she begins to question her own beliefs and values. The novel explores themes of love, marriage, race, and social class, and offers a glimpse into the complexities of life in the antebellum South.""Yes!"" said her mother, "" they used to call her pretty Nancy. Her cheeks were as rosy as you ever saw, and she had pretty holes in them, when she laughed; and now, they are so hollow, and such an awful round red spot right in the middle. Oh! Lord a mercy, what will become of me when she's gone, and you not by to comfort me, Miss Euly?""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
