Summary

"That Unfortunate Marriage, Vol. 3" by Frances Eleanor Trollope is a story set in the late 1800s, centering on May Cheffington, a young woman caught between love and what society expects of her. She is troubled by the idea of marrying Mr. Bragg, a man favored by her manipulative Aunt Pauline for his social standing rather than for love. This pressure is made even harder by May's true feelings for another man, Owen, creating a situation where she must decide between following her heart and fulfilling her social obligations. The book explores the emotional struggles that arise when personal desires clash with the strict rules of society, highlighting the difficult choices May must make as she navigates love, duty, and family influence.
