| Summary | "Guy Kenmore's Wife, and The Rose and the Lily" by Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller is a romantic novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the central character, Irene Brooke, who is caught in the complexities of family pressures, societal expectations, and her emerging feelings for Guy Kenmore amid her family's turmoil. The novel unfolds within a domestic setting, highlighting themes of love, rebellion, and family secrets that could impact Irene's destiny. At the start of the book, the scene is set on a moonlit night, where Irene is distraught over being denied the opportunity to attend a ball with her family. Despite her father's promise to take her, he is unexpectedly called away to business, prompting Irene to concoct a plan to attend the ball with her sister's suitor, Guy Kenmore. This decision leads to a series of events, including a mock wedding that spirals into a real and binding commitment, unveiling devastating family secrets about her lineage and the repercussions of their actions. The opening chapters throw Irene into a whirlwind of emotions as she grapples with her individuality against the backdrop of her family's pressures and secrets, setting the stage for the dramatic unfoldings to come.
