Sweet Mary (1862) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781104380083)

Sweet Mary is a novel written by Phoebe Palmer and first published in 1862. It tells the story of Mary, a young woman who is forced to leave her home and family in the countryside to work as a governess for a wealthy family in the city. Despite her difficult circumstances, Mary remains kind and gentle, and her sweet nature endears her to those around her. As Mary navigates the challenges of her new life, she meets a young man named Henry, who is also working for the same family. The two develop a deep connection, but their relationship is threatened by the social and economic barriers that separate them. Throughout the novel, Palmer explores themes of class, gender, and morality, as well as the power of love and forgiveness. Sweet Mary is a touching and poignant story that offers a glimpse into the lives of working-class women in the 19th century, and the challenges they faced in a society that often overlooked their struggles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
