Widow Barnaby

Widow Barnaby

by Frances Milton Trollope

In the Victorian era of high society, Mrs. Barnaby, a vain and presumptuous woman, embarks on a quest to secure a wealthy husband. Her lack of social graces and awkward mistakes lead to a series of comedic misadventures, while her lovely niece Agnes grapples with her own love and tribulations. With Mrs. Trollope's sharp wit and humor, this lighthearted romance pokes fun at the social customs and obsessions of the time.
