Henrietta’s Wish, also known as Domineering: A Tale, is a novel written by Charlotte Mary Yonge and published in 1850. The story revolves around the life of Henrietta, a young woman who is determined to marry the man she loves, despite the objections of her family and society. Henrietta’s wish is to marry for love, rather than for social status or financial gain. However, her domineering father has other plans for her and is determined to force her into a marriage that will benefit the family’s reputation and finances. As Henrietta struggles to assert her independence and follow her heart, she faces numerous challenges and setbacks. She must navigate the complex social dynamics of Victorian England, deal with the disapproval of her family and friends, and overcome her own doubts and insecurities. Along the way, she learns valuable lessons about love, loyalty, and the importance of staying true to oneself.Yonge’s novel is a poignant and insightful commentary on the societal norms and expectations of Victorian England, particularly with regard to women and marriage. It offers a powerful critique of the patriarchal structures that dominated the era, while also celebrating the strength and resilience of women who dared to challenge them. Henrietta’s Wish is a timeless tale of love, courage, and the pursuit of happiness, and remains a beloved classic of English literature to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
