Doctor Cupid: A Novel
Margaret and Prue Lambton live in the small house in the shadow of the big one, lending the great family their company, their piano playing and their help with the workhouse teas. Prue, seventeen, is in love with the charming and unreliable Freddy Ducane; Margaret, older and clear-eyed, watches over her and finds her own feelings tested by a man who is already entangled elsewhere. Rhoda Broughton, a Welsh-born novelist once thought daring and by this point mellowed into comedy, published Doctor Cupid in 1886. It is written in the present tense with a brisk, sardonic narrator and a sharp eye for country-house snobbery and the small humiliations of dependence. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
