Miss Mackenzie (Folio Society Edition) – Anthony Trollope

Suddenly single at thirty-five, Margaret Mackenzie inherits a significant fortune, gaining her first taste of independence. Moving to a new town, she is immediately besieged by three unappealing suitors—a squinting curate, a coarse businessman, and a kindly widower—all seemingly vying for her wealth. As Margaret navigates this confusing romantic minefield, a stunning legal revelation threatens to strip her of everything, forcing her to choose between fortune and genuine love.
