Description
Don’t covet your neighbor’s husband. There are no such commandments, but many people covet other men’s husbands… In the strikingly vivid and ironically forceful novel "The Freelands," the place of the tragically deceased Francis Freeland—the hero’s wife—is taken by her own sister, ready to take on both care for the husband and guardianship of the nieces and nephews… but it isn’t so easy to do if you live with a servant and are completely dependent on a wealthy man whose land your home sits on—and who provides your livelihood. The rich man can interfere not only with matrimonial plans, but he can even drive someone nearly to suicide!
The love intrigue of the novel "Freelands" unfolds against the backdrop of a civic intrigue, and Galsworthy creates a multi-layered work interesting both for readers of English melodramatic prose and for readers of sharp historical-social novels about Victorian England.
