It Is The Fashion (1872)

By Charlotte Von Cosel

Book Overview

""It Is The Fashion"" is a novel written by Charlotte Von Cosel and published in 1872. The story follows the lives of two young women, Gertrude and Olga, who are cousins and best friends. Gertrude is a beautiful and wealthy heiress who is used to getting whatever she wants, while Olga is a kind-hearted and sensible girl who is content with her simple life. As the two women navigate the social scene of their time, they encounter a variety of suitors, including the charming but untrustworthy Count von Rosenthal and the honorable but poor Lieutenant von Sch������nberg. Gertrude is determined to marry for wealth and status, while Olga values true love and character above all else. Throughout the novel, the characters grapple with societal expectations and the pressures of conformity. Gertrude struggles with her own desires and the expectations of her family, while Olga tries to balance her loyalty to her cousin with her own values and beliefs. ""It Is The Fashion"" is a commentary on the superficiality and materialism of high society in the 19th century, as well as a celebration of true love and individuality. Von Cosel's writing is witty and engaging, and the novel provides a fascinating glimpse into the customs and norms of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
