Omschrijving

The Sexton's Grandsons is a novel written by Frederick Scarlett Potter and published in 1877. The story revolves around the lives of two brothers, Tom and Jack, who are the grandsons of a sexton. They grow up in poverty and struggle to make ends meet. Tom is a hardworking and responsible young man who works as a clerk, while Jack is a carefree and irresponsible person who spends his time drinking and gambling. The story takes a dramatic turn when Tom falls in love with a wealthy young woman named Alice, who reciprocates his feelings. However, her father disapproves of their relationship due to Tom's lower social status. Meanwhile, Jack gets involved in a scandalous affair with a married woman, which leads to a series of unfortunate events. As the story progresses, the brothers face various challenges and obstacles, including financial difficulties, family conflicts, and societal prejudices. They must learn to overcome these obstacles and prove their worth to themselves and others. The novel explores themes such as love, loyalty, class struggle, and the importance of family values. Overall, The Sexton's Grandsons is a compelling and heart-wrenching tale of two brothers who strive to succeed in a world that is stacked against them. It is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
