Description
Florence Morse Kingsley is known for her interesting plots and outstanding character portrayals. And So They Were Married is perhaps her most significant work, depicting a short but meaningful story that shows how quickly and easily a naive approach can lead to disaster, even in the seemingly happiest moments of one’s life. The story begins with Sam Brewster, who is a young man in love with the impressionable Elisabeth North – the youngest daughter of a common family that has raised her well, but without preparing her for the harshness that life can offer and the difficulties that certain people might cause to her for the purpose of their own personal gain. Enter Evelyn Tripp – a motivated young lady who will stop at nothing in favoring her motives for interfering in Elisabeth’s wedding and, ultimately, leading to the main intrigues that fuel the story line and lead Elisabeth to lose control over the entire situation. Will she be able to save her marriage and get things back under control? Elisabeth is just one of the complex characters so masterfully portrayed by the author as a detailed mixture of emotions and impressions that readers can hardly keep up with. The diversity and vitality of the characters’ personalities, combined with detailed, albeit short descriptions that present the various locations and situations with ease, while elegantly blending them together with the story’s interesting plot, are the main elements that make And So They Were Married a truly enjoyable and entertaining read. It is often difficult to determine just how Florence Morse Kingsley managed to get inspired to bring her characters to life, including Elisabeth’s sentimental, loving father and her outspoken grandmother. Nevertheless, you will undoubtedly thank her for her remarkable initiative in turning And So They Were Married into a short but lovely book that will capture your attention from start to finish.
