Mr. And Mrs. Woodbridge

""Mr. and Mrs. Woodbridge"" is a novel written by Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of the famous anti-slavery novel ""Uncle Tom's Cabin."" The book follows the lives of two newlyweds, Ellen and James Woodbridge, as they navigate the challenges of marriage and family life in the mid-19th century. Ellen is a young, naive woman who is eager to please her husband and fit in with his family, while James is a hardworking, practical man who struggles to balance his responsibilities as a husband and father with his work as a lawyer. As the couple faces various trials and tribulations, including financial difficulties, illness, and the loss of loved ones, they learn to rely on each other and the strength of their faith to overcome their struggles. Along the way, Stowe explores themes of love, marriage, family, and the role of women in society, offering readers a glimpse into the lives of ordinary Americans during a time of great change and upheaval.""Charlotte"" -- said he -- ""this is no time for folly. Believe me when I assure you that I am seriously determined to insist on a general reform in the whole tenor of your household arrangements. I am completely disgusted with living in this manner, and will submit to it no longer. My patience is exhausted with the vain effort of suppressing my vexation, and in trying to endure in silence the innumerable petty annoyances with which you contrive to embitter every hour of my life; and I am still more tired of ineffectual remonstrances, and useless bickerings about trifles.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
