Miss Brown Vol. 1 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419134524)

Miss Brown V1 is a novel written by Vernon Lee, originally published in 1884. The book follows the story of a young woman named Miss Brown, who is hired as a governess for two children, a boy and a girl, in the English countryside. Miss Brown is a strong-willed and independent woman who is determined to make a difference in the lives of her charges. However, she soon realizes that her job is not going to be easy, as she must contend with the children's difficult mother, who is cold and unapproachable. As Miss Brown tries to navigate the challenges of her new position, she finds herself drawn to the children's father, a handsome and charming man named Mr. Herbert. Despite her growing feelings for him, Miss Brown is determined to remain professional and keep her distance. However, as she spends more time with Mr. Herbert, she begins to uncover secrets about his past that threaten to destroy their budding relationship. Miss Brown V1 is a beautifully written novel that explores themes of love, duty, and the complexities of human relationships. With its vivid descriptions of the English countryside and its compelling characters, this book is sure to captivate readers from beginning to end.He stopped a moment, and looked Hamlin in the face, as if to find out what sort of man he might be. He himself might be any age between thirty and forty, of the darkest possible Scotch type, sun-burnt like a bargee, snub of feature, with a huge, overhanging forehead; he was a man such as Hamlin had never dealt with--a type which he recognised as having seen among workmen and Dissenting preachers: ugly, intellectual, contemptuous--the incarnation of what, to the descendants of Cavaliers and Jamaica planters, seemed the aggressive lower classes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
