Cynthia (1918)

Cynthia is a novel written by Leonard Merrick and first published in 1918. The story follows the life of Cynthia, a young woman who is orphaned at a young age and must navigate the challenges of growing up without parents. As she grows older, Cynthia becomes involved in a romantic relationship with a man named Richard, but their love is put to the test when Richard's past comes back to haunt him. Along the way, Cynthia also grapples with issues of class and social status, as well as the expectations placed upon her as a woman in early 20th century England. Merrick's writing is known for its realism and attention to detail, and Cynthia is no exception, offering readers a nuanced and complex portrait of a young woman coming of age in a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
