Book Overview

A Thoughtless Yes is a novel written by Helen Hamilton Gardener and published in 1890. The story revolves around the character of Edith Burnham, a young woman who is forced into a loveless marriage by her domineering father. Edith is in love with another man, but she reluctantly agrees to marry the wealthy and socially prominent Arthur Wilmerding at her father's insistence. After the wedding, Edith realizes that she has made a terrible mistake. Arthur is cold and distant, and she is miserable in her new life. She longs for the freedom to pursue her own interests and to be with the man she truly loves. As the story unfolds, Edith must navigate the complexities of her unhappy marriage and her growing feelings for another man.
