At Last

By Marion Harland

Book Overview

""At Last"" is a novel by Marion Harland that tells the story of a young woman named Edith Lyle who is determined to make a name for herself in the world of literature. Set in the late 19th century, the book follows Edith as she struggles to navigate the challenges of being a female writer in a male-dominated industry.As she works to establish herself as a respected author, Edith must also navigate the complicated dynamics of her personal life. She finds herself torn between two men: the kind and supportive Dr. Leigh, and the charismatic but unreliable artist, Mr. Keith.As Edith's career and personal life intersect, she must make difficult choices about her future and the kind of life she wants to lead. Through it all, she remains steadfast in her determination to succeed and find happiness on her own terms.Filled with richly drawn characters, vivid descriptions of turn-of-the-century America, and a compelling storyline, ""At Last"" is a captivating novel that explores themes of love, ambition, and the struggle for self-determination.The cool contempt of the reply to his imperative dismissal of whatever claims the presumptuous adventurer his aunt had encouraged believed he had upon Mabel's notice or affection, was likely to irk Winston Aylett as more intemperate language could not. It did more. It baffled him, for a time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
