| Summary | "The Love Affairs of an Old Maid" by Lilian Bell is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows an unnamed narrator who reflects on her life as an old maid, delving into her thoughts and observations about love, relationships, and the societal expectations faced by women. Through her candid and humorous musings, she introduces readers to various characters in her life, highlighting the complexities and often bittersweet nature of love and companionship. At the start of the novel, the narrator grapples with turning thirty and the label of "old maid," examining her identity and self-perception. She engages in witty reflections about societal views on women who remain unmarried, and through a series of vignettes, she provides glimpses into the love lives of her friends. The opening chapters set the tone for the exploration of romantic entanglements, as the narrator recounts her own unfulfilled desires while also observing the relationships of those around her, including a troubled marriage and other various dynamics of love.
