| Summary |
"Sweet Violet: or, the fairest of the fair" by Mrs. Alex. McVeigh Miller is a novel written in the late 19th century. This romantic tale revolves around two beautiful cousins, Violet Mead and Amber Laurens, who are vying for the affection of the handsome Cecil Grant. The story explores themes of love, jealousy, and rivalry, as Violet and Amber's bond is tested by their mutual attraction to the same man. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Violet and Amber, who live with their wealthy grandfather, Judge Camden. The narrative sets the stage for their complex relationship, highlighting Violet's cheerful disposition and beauty in contrast to Amber's more reserved and jealous nature. As the story unfolds, the arrival of Cecil Grant sparks a fierce competition for love, leading to misunderstandings and emotional upheaval, particularly when Amber reveals a secret that threatens Violet's happiness. The opening chapters lay a foundation for the dramatic tension that promises to escalate as love and betrayal intertwine. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
