Henrietta

Set in mid-eighteenth-century England, the narrative follows Henrietta, an orphan navigating a challenging life under her self-serving aunt, who pushes her towards a forced conversion and an unloving marriage. The story highlights the struggles women faced in earning a living during this period, while offering modern reflections on human nature. Charlotte Lennox, a significant figure in English women's fiction and a contemporary of notable writers, presents a compelling tale that has been revitalized in a newly edited edition after being out of print for centuries.
