On Finding a Brother's Wife - House of Guinness - Annedelaide
Edward asks Anne to find him a wife, to find Arthur a wife. He asks Anne to survey the properties. There's a wildcat in Anne fighting a sickness that her doctors cannot diagnose. She looks through papers of eligible women and feels the sickness take her heart, beating faster and faster until she knows that she will fall. She scrawls a name on Edward's list. Adelaide Guinness is perfect.
Victorian sexism is fucked up, isn't it? Here's a nice healthy exploration of it with a big healthy pile of Anne falling in love with Adelaide without realising that's what's happening to her. Please could someone write the E rated sequel to this, it's out of my expertise. Thank you
