| Summary | "Oliver's Bride; A True Story" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the emotional turmoil of Oliver Wentworth as he grapples with his complex past and the impending marriage to Grace Goodheart, a woman whom he has long loved. At its core, the narrative examines themes of love, regret, and moral dilemmas, highlighting the impact of past choices on present happiness. At the start of the story, Oliver confesses to Grace that he has not always been the man he ought to have been, hinting at a troubled past filled with mistakes. The couple shares a tender moment of joy and excitement upon their engagement, yet their happiness is overshadowed by Oliver's internal struggles and the weight of his previous life. Grace's unwavering love for Oliver, despite his admission of unworthiness, introduces a poignant tension as Oliver is called away by a letter revealing a dying woman from his past—someone he feels responsible for. This sudden twist sets the stage for a complex exploration of duty versus desire, leaving readers eager to see how Oliver's choices will unfold amid love's complicated realities.
