Omschrijving

Whin is a novel written by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson and first published in 1918. The story is set in the rural countryside of northern England during World War I and follows the life of a young woman named Whin, who is struggling to survive in poverty with her family. Whin's father is a miner who has been injured in a mining accident, and her mother is ill and unable to work. Despite these challenges, Whin is determined to make a better life for herself and her family. She takes on various odd jobs and eventually meets a wealthy landowner named Sir John, who offers her a job as a housemaid. Whin quickly rises through the ranks and becomes Sir John's personal assistant. However, her success is threatened when she falls in love with Sir John's son, who is engaged to another woman. The novel explores themes of social class, love, and the impact of war on rural communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
