Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This novel, set within Victorian England, begins by introducing us to Callis and Phebe Maplethorpe, two impoverished sisters dwelling in a charming yet tumble-down dwelling nestled amidst scenic charm. The author then paints a vivid portrait of the countryside community in which they reside, delving deeply into the era's social hierarchies and industrial transformations. The novel explores significant themes such as the changing nature of professions and social standing, and the impact of modernization on traditional ways of life, as this once sleepy town grapples with the encroachment of railways and other signs of progress. Through an array of compelling characters, the author deftly weaves a narrative that lays bare the tensions between the preservation of the past and the inevitability of change, ultimately revealing the profound impact of this era on both individuals and communities.
