The Price of Love (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

Like several of Bennett’s works, Price of Love (1914), is set in “Five Towns.” It is the story of Rachel Fleckring and the Maldon family, for whom Rachel works as a maid to the elderly Mrs. Maldon. Rachel falls foolishly in love with Mrs. Maldon’s nephew, the charming Louis Fores, only to discover the high price she has to pay for that affection.
