Book Overview
The Chaste Wife is a novel written by Frank Swinnerton and first published in 1917. Set in the early 20th century, the book tells the story of a young woman named Mary who marries a man named George. Mary is a devout Catholic and believes in the importance of remaining chaste until marriage. George is not religious and does not share Mary's views on sex and marriage. As their marriage progresses, Mary struggles to reconcile her beliefs with her desire for physical intimacy with her husband. Meanwhile, George becomes increasingly frustrated with Mary's reluctance to engage in sexual activity. The novel explores themes of religion, morality, and the complexities of marriage. Swinnerton's writing is characterized by its realism and attention to detail, making The Chaste Wife a compelling and thought-provoking read.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
