AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Set in the Australian bush town of Liffnack, a tale of two respectable families: Charlie, an invalid who goes to Queensland for a cure, and his eager sister Isabel; her lover Howard, a teacher, and his sister Nellie who dies of a lung disease, and their parents. Involves a female teacher's assistant dismissed for making advances to Howard. Interesting with odd touches of piety, sentiment, and a plot that seems to have changed halfway into the tale(PB).
