How they loved him, Vol. 1 (of 3)
In a convent garden at Ansprach in the spring, a girl of extraordinary beauty sleeps in the sun, and the opening chapters of Florence Marryat's novel follow her out of the convent, through a mother's welcome that proves no welcome at all, into banishment and a new world where a voice in the night and a first awakening of feeling change everything. Published in 1882 in three volumes, How They Loved Him is a story about the men who love one woman and what their love does to her and to them. Marryat wrote more than sixty novels, many about marriage and its failures. This is the first volume; the second is also available. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
