Book Overview

Sir Richard Escombe: A Romance is a novel written by Max Pemberton and published in 1908. The story follows the life of Sir Richard Escombe, a wealthy and successful businessman who is also a member of the British aristocracy. Sir Richard is engaged to a beautiful and charming woman named Lady Mary, but he begins to question his commitment to her when he meets a young woman named Hilda, who is unlike anyone he has ever met before. Hilda is intelligent, independent, and fiercely independent, and Sir Richard finds himself drawn to her in ways he cannot explain. As he struggles with his feelings for Hilda, Sir Richard must also navigate the complex social and political landscape of turn-of-the-century Britain, where his position and reputation are constantly under threat. The novel is a sweeping tale of love, ambition, and betrayal, set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
