Project Gutenberg 2006-03-18 Public domain in the USA. 350 Wells, H. G. (Herbert George) 1866 1946 Wells, Herbert George Ann Veronica: A Modern Love Story Produced by Charles Keller and David Widger "Ann Veronica: A Modern Love Story" by H. G. Wells is a novel written during the late 19th century. It revolves around the character of Ann Veronica Stanley, a young woman at a crossroads in her life, seeking independence and meaning in a world that seeks to confine her to traditional roles. The opening chapters set the stage for her struggle as she prepares to confront her father about the constricting expectations imposed upon her, particularly regarding her education and future. At the start of the narrative, Ann Veronica returns home from London, filled with resolve to challenge her father's authority after receiving an ultimatum about attending a dance with her friends. As she navigates her suburban environment, the reader is introduced to her discontent with societal norms that prioritize marriage and domesticity over personal ambition and freedom. Ann Veronica's character is portrayed as a complex mix of youthful idealism and deep longing for life's experiences, making her determination to assert her independence particularly compelling. The interactions she has, including a brief entanglement with young men and the disapproving gaze of her family, foreshadow the conflicts that will arise as she seeks to define her identity and make choices that align with her desires.
