Book Overview

The Way Hearts Go: A Social Comedy is a novel written by Laurence Hayward and published in 1917. The story revolves around the lives of wealthy socialites in England during the early 20th century. The main character, Lady Gwendoline, is a young woman who is determined to marry for love rather than for social status or financial gain. She falls in love with a young man named Captain Nigel Lorraine, but their relationship is complicated by the interference of Lady Gwendoline's mother, who wants her daughter to marry a wealthy aristocrat. Meanwhile, other members of the social circle are dealing with their own romantic entanglements and scandals, leading to a series of hilarious and dramatic events. The novel satirizes the shallow and superficial nature of high society and explores themes of love, marriage, and social status. With its witty dialogue and colorful characters, The Way Hearts Go remains a charming and entertaining read for modern audiences.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
