Book Overview

The Child-Wife is a novel that is part of the larger work, David Copperfield, written by Charles Dickens in 1878. The story follows the life of David Copperfield, a young boy who is forced to leave his home and live with his cruel stepfather after his mother dies. Along the way, he meets a young girl named Dora Spenlow, who becomes his child-wife. Despite her beauty and charm, Dora is immature and lacks the skills needed to be a good wife. David struggles to make their marriage work, but ultimately realizes that they are not meant to be together. The novel explores themes of love, marriage, and the challenges of growing up in Victorian England. Through the character of Dora, Dickens highlights the limitations placed on women during this time period and the importance of education and self-improvement. The Child-Wife is a poignant and insightful novel that continues to be beloved by readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
