Summary: "Gertrude's Marriage" by W. Heimburg is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds primarily around the life of Frank Linden, who unexpectedly inherits a modest estate in North Germany, where he contemplates his future and the notion of marriage as he seeks to navigate his new rural life. The book explores themes of wealth, social expectations, and romantic idealism, emphasizing the contrast between Frank's humble beginnings and the societal pressures surrounding wealth, particularly as it pertains to his relationship with Gertrude Baumhagen, a wealthy young woman with a compassionate heart. The opening of the novel introduces Frank Linden, who is currently grappling with the responsibilities and disappointments that come with his newfound inheritance. Conversations between him and his friend Richard Weishaupt reveal Frank's internal conflict between the allure of romantic idealism and the practical realities of his situation. Meanwhile, Gertrude Baumhagen is introduced through her dynamics with her family, highlighting the pressures she faces as a wealthy young woman. Her character is portrayed as empathetic and longing for genuine connection, contrasting sharply with the societal expectations of marrying well.
