Molly Bawn

"Molly Bawn" by Duchess is a late 19th-century novel which introduces us to the captivating Molly Massereene, a spirited young woman whose life takes an exciting turn with the arrival of Tedcastle George Luttrell, a dashing young hussar, during a time of dullness. As a playful and flirtatious protagonist, Molly's interactions with Luttrell begin as curiosity and ambition, while she navigates her familial bonds with her brother John and sister-in-law Letitia within their rural setting and her home. The central themes of romance and familial bonds, juxtaposed against the backdrop of a quiet country life, emerge as Molly's youthful exuberance sets the stage for an engaging and perhaps dramatic courtship.
