Falkland, Book 2.

"Falkland, Book 2." by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton is a Victorian-era novel that examines the intense emotions of love and sorrow through the complicated relationship between Emily Mandeville and Erasmus Falkland. Instead of focusing on lots of action, the story looks closely at what's happening inside the characters' minds as Emily struggles with her feelings for Falkland, even though she's stuck in an unhappy marriage. Falkland also deals with his own internal conflict, knowing that their feelings for each other could cause major problems. These characters are torn between what they want and what society expects of them, leading to a sad exploration of love's ability to both build up and tear down. As their connection grows stronger, fueled by both longing and regret, the story asks big questions about right and wrong, love, and the pain of wanting something you can't have.
