Simple Story, A by Elizabeth Inchbald (1753 - 1821)

Author: LibriVox

The story could really have been simple: Miss Milner, who is admired for her beauty and charm, could have been a socialite, marry a respectable and good looking man and be happy in the standards of her time. But if it was so, why would there be a book? Miss Milner, beautiful and charming as she is, announces her wish to marry her guardian, a catholic priest. But women in the 18th century do not declare their wishes or speak about their passions, and- after all- he is a catholic priest And if he finds a way to marry her, is this her road to happiness?(Summary by Stav Nisser)
