Book Overview

The Majors and Their Marriages is a novel written by James Branch Cabell and published in 1915. The story is set in the fictional town of Lichfield, Virginia, and follows the lives of several wealthy families, known as the Majors, and their romantic entanglements. The novel is divided into four parts, each focusing on a different character's love life. The first part follows the courtship of George Waverley and Lucy Carewe, two young lovers who are kept apart by their families' disapproval. The second part centers on the marriage of Colonel George Waverley and his wife, Olivia, and the challenges they face as a couple. The third part of the book follows the relationship between John Charteris, a charming and manipulative lawyer, and his wife, Audrey. Finally, the fourth part explores the marriage of Edward and Julia Gwynne, and the secrets and scandals that threaten to tear them apart. Throughout the novel, Cabell explores themes of love, marriage, and social class, as well as the impact of societal expectations on personal relationships. The Majors and Their Marriages is a fascinating and insightful look at the lives of the wealthy elite in early 20th century America, and the struggles they faced in finding happiness and fulfillment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
