Omschrijving

Jessie Phillips: A Tale of the Present Day is a novel written by Frances Milton Trollope and published in 1844. The story follows the titular character, Jessie Phillips, a young woman who lives in poverty in London. Despite her circumstances, Jessie is determined to make a better life for herself and her family. She is offered a job as a governess to the children of a wealthy family, and she jumps at the opportunity.As Jessie becomes more involved in the lives of her employers, she begins to uncover their secrets and the dark underbelly of their privileged lifestyle. She also finds herself falling in love with one of the family's sons, but their differences in social status create a barrier to their relationship.Throughout the novel, Trollope explores themes of class, social mobility, and the struggles of women in Victorian society. She also provides a vivid portrayal of life in mid-19th century London, with its stark contrasts between the rich and the poor.Overall, Jessie Phillips: A Tale of the Present Day is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into the complexities of Victorian society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
