Sandra Belloni

Sandra Belloni is a novel written by George Meredith, first published in 1887. The story follows the life of a young Italian girl named Sandra Belloni, who is orphaned at a young age and forced to make her way in the world. She is taken in by a wealthy English family, the Harringtons, and becomes a companion to their daughter, Lucy. Sandra quickly becomes a beloved member of the family, but her position is threatened when she falls in love with Adrian Harley, a young artist who is also a friend of the Harringtons. As Sandra and Adrian's relationship deepens, they face numerous obstacles, including the disapproval of the Harringtons and the social prejudices of Victorian England. Sandra must also confront her own past and the secrets that she has kept hidden from those around her. Throughout the novel, Meredith explores themes of love, class, and identity, and offers a nuanced portrayal of the struggles faced by women in the 19th century. Sandra Belloni is a complex and compelling novel that offers a vivid portrait of Victorian society and the challenges faced by those who dared to defy its conventions. With its richly drawn characters and powerful themes, it remains a timeless work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today.So when Tracy Runningbrook, who had also been a plum in his day, and was still a poet, said that she was exquisitely comic, they were induced to take the humorous view of the inexplicable side in the character of Miss Belloni, and tried to laugh at her eccentricities. Seeing that Mr. Pericles approved of her voice as a singer, and Tracy Runningbrook let pass her behaviour as a girl, they conceived that on the whole they were safe in sounding a trumpet loudly. These gentlemen were connoisseurs, each in his walk.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
