Excerpt from Morag: A Tale of the Highlands of Scotland
We shall not linger over the years that elapsed between Miss Prosser''s coming and our introduction to her and her pupil. We should only have to tell of long days of school room routine, when Blanche at last got fairly into educational harness, and came to know many things which it was right and proper that she should know. She could tell a great deal of the geography of several countries, was quite at home among the Plantagenets and various other dynasties, could repeat an unlim ited number of French irregular verbs, and knew something of the elements of more than one science.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand.

The author sets the scene with a classic tale of the clash between the idyllic expectations of youth and the harsh realities of adulthood. The contrasting upbringings of the two main characters is explored throughout the book, presenting a detailed depiction of the social dynamics and class divisions of the period and the changing nature of life in Britain at the time. Through the lens of the girls' friendship, the author sensitively explores the universal themes of cultural identity, the struggle between duty and ambition, and the traces people leave on the places and communities they inhabit.
