Elizabeth Visits America

Elizabeth Visits America is a novel written by Elinor Glyn. The book tells the story of Elizabeth, a young woman from England who travels to America to visit her wealthy aunt. During her stay, Elizabeth meets and falls in love with a handsome American man named Jack, who is also her aunt's neighbor. However, their relationship is complicated by the social differences between them and the disapproval of Elizabeth's aunt. As Elizabeth navigates the unfamiliar world of American high society, she must decide whether to follow her heart or conform to the expectations of her family and society. The novel explores themes of love, class, and cultural differences, and provides a glimpse into the social norms and customs of early 20th century America.Now we are staying in a country palace with the family we met on the boat, whom the Americans we know in England would not speak to; in fact, I am sure they are rather hurt at our coming here; but Octavia says she prefers to see something we do not see in England. The Van Verdens, and Courtfields and Latours are almost like us, only they are richer and have better French furniture. So she says she wants to see the others, the American Americans we don't meet at home.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
