The Female Quixote

Set in the 18th century, the story follows Arabella, raised in isolation and fueled by her passion for French romance novels. Her vivid imagination clashes with reality when her father's death forces her to marry her cousin Glanville to inherit his estate. As she navigates London and encounters both genuine affection and deceitful courtship, Arabella must confront the stark differences between her fantasies and the complexities of real life. This novel, a parody of Don Quixote, highlights themes of innocence, love, and the struggle for self-awareness.
