Description

A resonant, quietly powerful drama of lives and loyalties that lingers long after the last page. Agatha's Husband traces the domestic upheavals and moral tests that define a marriage in English Victorian society. In crisp, intimate scenes, Craik sharpens the gaze on gender roles and obligation, revealing how trust, restraint, and small errors can ripple through a household. This is classic novel craft at its best: precise character work, shrewd social observation, and a quietly unfolding tension that keeps the heart engaged as much as the mind. Published in the public domain and long out of print, this volume from Alpha Editions is restored for today's readers and for future generations. It honours the original's literary heft while presenting it with the care of a modern study that makes it accessible to both casual readers and classic-literature collectors. The novel sits firmly in the tradition of victorian fiction and english victorian society, offering a lucid glimpse into everyday life and the astonishing realism that defines Victorian social realism. It also serves as a meaningful touchstone for book clubs and library study guides seeking a compelling, thought-provoking English classic by english classic authors. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A public domain work revived for contemporary readers, and for generations to come.
