The Countess of Dellwyn - Hardcover

The Countess of Dellwyn is a historical fiction novel written by Sarah Fielding. The story is set in the 18th century and revolves around the life of a young woman named Cecilia, who becomes the Countess of Dellwyn after marrying Lord Dellwyn, a wealthy and influential man. Cecilia is a strong-willed and intelligent woman who is determined to make the most of her new position. However, she soon realizes that her marriage is not what she expected it to be. Lord Dellwyn is a cruel and manipulative man who treats her with disdain and disrespect. As Cecilia tries to navigate her new life as a countess, she finds herself drawn to a young artist named Conway, who is unlike any man she has ever met. Conway is kind, gentle, and supportive, and Cecilia begins to fall in love with him. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Conway is a commoner and not considered a suitable match for a countess. Cecilia must decide whether to follow her heart or adhere to the strict social conventions of her time. The Countess of Dellwyn is a story of love, betrayal, and the struggle for independence in a society that values conformity above all else. It is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of human relationships and the challenges of breaking free from societal expectations.Lady Dellwyn was now almost in as great a State of Mortification as at the Time that Lady Fanny, by becoming her Rival in her Lord's Fortune and Title, first led her to discover, that such Advantages were worth the Price she afterwards paid for them, when an Accident happened, which was the highest Cordial to her almost fainting Spirits, and revived the pleasing Hope of obtaining a complete Triumph over Lady Fanny; for Lord Clermont returned to the Hot Wells, and she doubted not but that it was in her Power easily to regain his Attention.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
