Coles A Love Story Reversed: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
In Edward Bellamy's A Love Story Reversed, a midnight conversation between shy, self-doubting Maud Elliott and her newly married friend Lucy Merritt sets the story's daring premise in motion. Lucy argues that women should have the same freedom as men to speak openly in love, while Maud fears that any declaration would make her seem unwomanly and cheap. Their debate frames a romantic comedy of misunderstanding, social restraint, and the painful cost of silence. When Maud finally summons the courage to confess her love for Arthur Burton, the result is both awkward and deeply moving. Arthur, who has barely recognized her feelings, is startled into confusion and even laughter, but soon realizes the seriousness of what she has risked. Determined to preserve her dignity, he sends a carefully chosen note and a book on pottery as an excuse for a polite visit. Beneath the surface courtesy, both are acutely aware of the emotional stakes. Maud's shame gives way to gratitude, Arthur's amusement to admiration, and a later meeting reveals that his feelings are beginning to change as he sees her with new, fascinated attention. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
