Omschrijving

In The Service is a novel written by Isabel Katherine Hornibrook and originally published in 1885. The book follows the story of a young woman named Edith, who is forced to leave her comfortable life in England and travel to Australia to work as a governess. Edith is initially hesitant about the move, but she soon finds herself drawn to the vibrant and diverse culture of Australia.As Edith settles into her new role, she becomes involved in the lives of the people around her, including the family she works for and the local Aboriginal community. She learns about the struggles and injustices faced by the Aboriginal people and becomes determined to help in any way she can.Throughout the novel, Edith also navigates her own personal relationships, including a budding romance with a young man named Arthur. As she becomes more involved in the community and its issues, Edith must grapple with the challenges of balancing her own desires with her responsibilities to those around her.In The Service is a compelling historical novel that offers a glimpse into the social and cultural dynamics of late 19th century Australia. Through Edith's story, readers are invited to explore themes of identity, community, and social justice, making this book a thought-provoking and engaging read.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
