Description
"An Australian Girl" by Catherine Martin is a novel first published in 1890. Set in Australia and Europe during the 1880s, it follows Stella Courtland, a young woman who forgoes marriage to an intellectual she loves, believing him already married. Instead, she weds a long-term suitor, only to discover he is an alcoholic—and that her first love was never married after all. Facing a crisis of duty and desire, Stella must decide whether to honor her vows or pursue her own happiness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
