Cecilia; Or, Memoirs of an Heiress — Volume 2 by Fanny Burney
"Cecilia; Or, Memoirs of an Heiress — Volume 2" by Fanny Burney is a novel published in 1782. Young heiress Cecilia Beverley navigates the treacherous waters of eighteenth-century London society, where fortune hunters, misers, and social manipulators surround her. With a peculiar condition attached to her inheritance—any husband must take her surname—she faces romantic entanglements and moral dilemmas. Between masquerade parties and mounting debts, Cecilia encounters mysterious admirers, witnesses near-duels, and discovers
that wealth attracts both genuine affection and dangerous deception in equal measure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
