Omschrijving

The Maid of the River is a novel written by Australian author Rosa Caroline Praed, first published in 1905. The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the life of a young Australian girl named Eileen O'Connor, who falls in love with a wealthy Englishman named Hugh Vallancy.Eileen is the daughter of a riverboat captain and spends much of her childhood on the river, where she develops a deep appreciation for nature and a love for adventure. When she meets Hugh, she is immediately drawn to his charm and sophistication, but their relationship is complicated by their different social backgrounds and the disapproval of Hugh's family.The novel explores themes of love, class, and identity, as Eileen struggles to reconcile her love for Hugh with her loyalty to her family and her own sense of self. It also touches on issues of colonialism and cultural difference, as Eileen and Hugh navigate the tensions between their respective cultures and backgrounds.Overall, The Maid of the River is a compelling love story that offers a vivid portrait of Australian life in the late 19th century, as well as a thoughtful exploration of the complexities of identity and belonging.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
