Excerpt from Home, Sweet Home, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel
That night Gretchen and I sat with our two heads bent over one book: Dod's "Peerage, Baronetage, and Knightage of Great Britain and Ireland." The "titled classes" were a new study for us; but Herr Droigel, in his business capacity, had occasionally to post himself up as regarded "who was who," and always kept a volume by him sacred to the nobility, in addition to one containing records of the landed gentry.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a literary exploration of themes surrounding social class, the music industry, and women's rights in Britain during the Victorian era. Set against the backdrop of the lives of two vastly different women - one an aspiring singer, the other an aristocratic opera patron - the story uses drama and real-life events to highlight the social complexities of marrying into the upper classes and the struggle for women seeking careers outside the home. Through these interwoven stories, the author reveals the harsh realities of performing as a female musician, juxtaposing these with the lavish and decadent world of the aristocracyâ"a world that seems completely out of reach to the lower classes.
