Omschrijving

The Half-Caste: An Old Governess��s Tale is a novel written by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik and originally published in 1897. The story is set in the mid-19th century and follows the life of a young woman named Lilla, who is the daughter of a white British man and a woman of mixed race. Lilla is raised by her father in England, but after he dies, she is sent to live with her mother's family in Jamaica.In Jamaica, Lilla faces discrimination and prejudice due to her mixed race heritage. She is mistreated by her aunt and uncle and is not allowed to attend school with the other children. However, she finds solace in the company of her cousin, Jack, who becomes her closest friend.As Lilla grows older, she becomes more aware of the societal barriers that exist between people of different races. She also falls in love with Jack, but their relationship is frowned upon by their families and the wider community. Lilla struggles to find her place in a world that does not fully accept her, and she must make difficult choices about her future.The Half-Caste: An Old Governess��s Tale is a poignant and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of identity, race, and love. It provides a powerful commentary on the injustices of colonialism and the effects of prejudice and discrimination on individuals and society as a whole.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
