Kirsteen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162669793)

Kirsteen is a novel written by Margaret Oliphant, first published in 1890. The story is set in Scotland and follows the life of Kirsteen, a strong-willed and independent young woman who is determined to make her own way in the world. Kirsteen is the daughter of a poor weaver and is forced to work in a factory to support her family. Despite the hardships she faces, Kirsteen remains optimistic and determined to succeed. She eventually becomes a successful seamstress and marries a kind and loving man. However, her happiness is short-lived when tragedy strikes and she is forced to confront the harsh realities of life once again. Kirsteen is a powerful and moving story of resilience, determination, and the strength of the human spirit.They made her sick at heart; and London, people said, was bigger (if that were possible) and no doubt more dreadful still! Oh that it could all turn out a dream from which she might wake to find herself once more by the side of the linn, with the roar of the water, and no sickening clamour of ill tongues in her ear! But already the linn, and the far-off life by its side were away from her as if they had passed centuries ago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
