Summary

"Only a Girl's Love" by Charles Garvice is a story that starts with a young woman named Stella escaping a difficult school in Florence and finding shelter with her uncle, James Etheridge. The story takes place in the peaceful English countryside, where Stella's arrival disrupts the calm as she seeks comfort after the loss of her father. As Stella settles in, a closeness begins to brew with her uncle, while she also becomes interested in Leycester Wyndward from Wyndward Hall. The early chapters show Stella's emotional scars and her uncle's care for her, hinting at themes of love and personal happiness.

About the Author

Charles Garvice was a prolific British writer of over 150 romance novels, who also used the female pseudonym Caroline Hart. He was a popular author in the UK, the United States and translated around the world. He was ‘the most successful novelist in England’, according to Arnold Bennett in 1910. He published novels selling over seven million copies worldwide by 1914, and since 1913 he was selling 1.75 million books annually, a pace which he maintained at least until his death. Despite his enormous success, he was poorly received by literary critics, and is almost forgotten today.
