Felicia Skene's 'The Consequences of Marrying a Deceased Wife's Sister' is a groundbreaking work that explores the social and legal ramifications of marriage to a deceased wife's sister in Victorian England. Through a mix of legal analysis, social commentary, and personal anecdotes, Skene delves into the controversial topic of intra-familial marriage in a time when societal norms and legal restrictions often clashed. Skene's literary style is both informative and engaging, making this book a valuable resource for scholars of Victorian literature and legal history alike. Felicia Skene, a British author and social reformer, was a prominent figure in the Victorian era known for her advocacy for women's rights and social justice.

I highly recommend 'The Consequences of Marrying a Deceased Wife's Sister' to readers interested in Victorian social history, legal studies, and women's rights.
