The Unmarriable Kind

By Melina Druga

A woman ahead of her time. A world not ready to let her be free.

Ontario, 1884 - The country is changing, and so is Lucretia Goodwin. Intelligent, outspoken, and unwilling to accept society's limitations on women, she has earned herself a reputation as "the unmarriable kind."

When the new headmaster, Benjamin Steward, arrives at the academy, Lucretia finds herself torn between admiration and fear. Benjamin is thoughtful, progressive, and everything she should want in a suitor, but marriage, to Lucretia, means the loss of identity and freedom in a world where wives have no legal rights.

As love and principle collide, Lucretia must decide whether she can forge her own path within a society that demands her submission. Set against the backdrop of post-Confederation Canada's industrial transformation and social awakening, The Unmarriable Kind is a moving story of independence, conviction, and a woman's struggle to define herself on her own terms.

Perfect for readers of Jennifer Robson, Susanna Kearsley and Kate Quinn, Melina Druga's historical fiction celebrates the women who dared to challenge the expectations of their age - and changed the course of generations to come.
