Memoirs of Miss Sidney Biddulph
Frances Chamberlaine Sheridan
Book Overview:
Sidney and Cecilia are best childhood friends who are forced to part for 5 years. In that interval, Sidney Bidulph - an undoubtedly good and dutiful woman - writes to her friend about everything: her marriage, her children, her other friendships and, above all, about her great love for Mr. Faulkland. In an amazing and unforgettable way, this book shows us that the road to happiness is not always clear - and that sometimes doing what seems to be right is not really the right thing to do. With Rachel's lovely reading, we see her - Sidney Bidulph - as she was meant to be, and as she really is.

Such a letter, to a woman of my mother’s temper, met with such a reception as might be expected. She tore it before his messenger’s face; and desired him to tell his master, that as what he had already obtained was by fraud, so he was at liberty to make use of force to recover the remainder; but with her consent, he ne. . .

Sidney Bidulph Arnold gets increasingly more annoying throughout the book by continuing to do what's "proper" without enough information, therefore inadvertently screwing everyone over. She ends up dying unhappy, but it's cool because her reward will be in heaven.
An unexpectedly gripping book, which reveals the inability of women in the 18th century to guarantee their own financial and emotional security despite their attempts to read male (and female character), practice virtue, and exercise judicious caution.

The book's heroine knows love at an early age but quickly realizes that her beloved is not exactly the knight with the shining armor. This perception then follows her as she understands that t
Enjoyable 18th century melodrama about the romantic and economic trials of a "good" woman in a wicked, chaotic world; although obviously, best suited for those who enjoy old-fashioned prose and pacing.
