Book Overview

The Admiral's Ward is a historical novel written by Mrs. Alexander and published in 1883. The story is set in the early 19th century in England and revolves around the life of a young woman named Edith Annesley, who is the ward of Admiral Sir Peter Mowbray. Edith is a beautiful and intelligent young woman who is loved by all who know her. However, she is also very independent and has a strong will, which often gets her into trouble.The novel follows Edith's life as she navigates the challenges of being a ward and the expectations that come with it. She is courted by several suitors, including the dashing Captain George Lovelace, but she is determined to marry for love and not for money or social status. As she tries to find her place in society, Edith also becomes embroiled in a scandal that threatens to ruin her reputation.Throughout the novel, Mrs. Alexander paints a vivid picture of life in England during the early 19th century. She explores themes of love, loyalty, and social class, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of the British aristocracy. The Admiral's Ward is a beautifully written and engaging novel that will appeal to fans of historical fiction and romance alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
