AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Several members of a family, across several generations, have been willing to defy family dictates and forgo their inheritances for the sake of true love. One family member, though, a seemingly misogynistic old bachelor, has managed to collect all the wealth. However, he turns out to be full of suprises.
