The Two Sides Of The Shield (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162711126)

The Two Sides of the Shield is a novel written by Charlotte M. Yonge. It tells the story of two sisters, Rachel and Phillippa, who are forced to confront the harsh realities of life in Victorian England. Rachel is a young woman who is passionate about social justice and the fight for women's rights, while Phillippa is more interested in traditional gender roles and societal expectations.As the sisters navigate their way through the challenges of their time, they are confronted with a series of difficult choices that will ultimately determine their fate. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a wealthy businessman, a group of suffragettes, and a young man who is struggling to find his place in the world.Through it all, the sisters must learn to balance their own desires and ambitions with the expectations of their family and society at large. The Two Sides of the Shield is a compelling tale of sisterhood, love, and the struggle for equality in a world that is often hostile to change.What would the two aunts have said, could they have seen Dolores and Constance, at that moment partaking of the most elaborate meal the Darminster refreshment-room could supply, at a little round marble table, in company with Mr. Flinders! They had not been obliged to start nearly so early as the other party, as the journey was much shorter, and with no change of line, so they had quietly walked to the station by ten o'clock, arrived at Darminster at half-past eleven, and have been met by the personage whom Dolores recognized as Uncle Alfred.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
