THE BETH BOOK

Sarah Grand

Elizabeth Caldwell Maclure—known as Beth—is not the kind of woman society expects her to be. Born into a strict and conventional Victorian world, she grows up questioning the rules that others follow without thinking. Curious, intelligent, and fiercely independent, Beth struggles to find her place in a society that believes a woman’s destiny should be quiet, obedient, and limited. In The Beth Book, Sarah Grand presents a deeply personal and powerful story of growth, self-discovery, and intellectual awakening. Through Beth’s childhood, marriage, and emotional struggles, the novel explores the cost of being different in a world that fears strong women. This classic work of New Woman fiction became one of the most influential feminist novels of the late nineteenth century. This edition features a clear and carefully prepared text for modern listeners, along with a calm and engaging narration by Tracy Peace, bringing new life to this remarkable public domain classic. Perfect for readers who enjoy classic literature, women’s fiction, feminist novels, and historical coming-of-age stories, The Beth Book remains as meaningful today as when it was first published.
