The day will come : $b a novel

"The Day Will Come" by M. E. Braddon is a late 19th-century novel that begins with the wedding of Juanita Dalbrook and Sir Godfrey Carmichael and their arrival at Cheriton Chase. The celebratory atmosphere is quickly undercut by hints of social pressure and family expectations. Lord Cheriton's rise to nobility and Juanita's obligation to her family suggest potential conflicts, and the presence of Theodore Dalbrook, who secretly loves Juanita, introduces further emotional complexity. The story hints at themes of ambition, legacy, and hidden tensions beneath a surface of wedded bliss, setting the stage for challenges to the couple's happiness in their ancestral home.
