"Amelia — Complete" by Henry Fielding is a story set in 18th-century England, that follows the lives of Captain Booth and his wife, Amelia, as they face a rough world that constantly tests their commitment and good character. The book starts with Captain Booth stuck in prison because of bad luck, where the author makes fun of the legal system and society by showing silly and unfair situations involving other prisoners and a not-so-smart judge. While in jail, Booth hears about a woman named Miss Matthews, whose sad story connects to his own, hinting at themes of love, secrets, and the chance to make up for past wrongs.
