Summary

"A Question of Marriage" by George de Horne Vaizey is a compelling story set in the late 1800s, about a young woman named Vanna Strangeways who receives life-altering news from her doctor: marriage is forbidden to her due to a family history of mental illness; therefore, she must remain single. This grim prognosis forces Vanna to confront her expectations for the future and society's perception of women, compelling her to question the very nature of marriage and the possibility of an independent, yet fulfilling, life. Friendship and burgeoning romances provide a colorful backdrop as Vanna embarks on a journey of self-discovery, grappling with love, loss, and the weight of her doctor's serious advice.
