This page carries the whole of Love and Life by Charlotte M. (Charlotte Mary) Yonge, not an abridgement or a summary. The text comes from Project Gutenberg eBook #5700, a public-domain edition, with the Project Gutenberg header, footer and licence removed so that only the work itself remains.

How is Love and Life divided for reading?

Rather than presenting Love and Life as unbroken pages, the text is grouped into 955 sections of 5 sentences each. A section is short enough to hold in mind at once, which suits a reader working in a second language or returning to a long work in short sittings. The 37 chapters follow the divisions of the source edition, and each section carries a contextual illustration drawn from the passage it accompanies rather than a stock image.

Can I hear Love and Life read aloud?

Yes. Every sentence and every individual word of Love and Life can be played aloud, and each word shows its dictionary entry.

Every sentence of Love and Life can be played aloud, and so can any single word within it. Tapping a word plays it on its own and opens its dictionary entry, with the pronunciation shown in IPA alongside the part of speech and meaning. The reading voice uses United States English. This matters most for a work of this period, where a reader meets vocabulary and turns of phrase that are no longer in daily use and cannot be guessed reliably from spelling alone.
