Publisher's Synopsis
The World and Delia is a novel written by Curtis Yorke and published in 1907. The story revolves around the life of Delia Percival, a young woman who is forced to leave her home in the countryside to live with her aunt in London after her father's death. Delia is innocent and naive, and her aunt takes advantage of her by introducing her to the high society of London. Delia is quickly swept up in a world of glamour and luxury, but soon realizes that it is all superficial and empty. She falls in love with a young man named Stephen, but their relationship is complicated by his family's disapproval and his own indecisiveness. Delia must navigate the complexities of love, family, and society as she tries to find her place in the world. The novel is a commentary on the shallowness of high society and the importance of staying true to oneself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
