A crown of shame, volume 3 (of 3) by Florence Marryat
"A Crown of Shame, Volume 3" by Florence Marryat is a novel written in the late 19th century. This concluding volume follows the intertwining lives of several characters within a plantation society, focusing particularly on Rosa, who is left behind on Maraquita's wedding day, and Maraquita herself, who grapples with the consequences of her choices amidst rising tensions and conflicts in San Diego. The narrative delves into themes of betrayal, love, and
societal expectations. At the start of the novel, Rosa is seen discontented and reluctant to care for Maraquita's baby while all others, including her love interest Juan, attend the wedding festivities. The scene introduces a complex backdrop where characters like Judy, who conspires with Henri de Courcelles, and Lizzie, who acts as a caretaker, emerge into focus. As Rosa relinquishes her ambitions for a semblance of social acknowledgment, parallel tensions evolve with Maraquita's marriage that promises both glory and regret. This section sets the stage for deeper explorations of love, identity, and rebellion as the lives of these characters are further intertwined against the backdrop of impending upheaval in their community.
