Présentation de l'éditeur
The orphan girl whose humble lot has been thus far traced out, possessed one of those insatiable minds which must be fed with something; and yet she had hitherto lived upon a very scanty share of intellectual nourishment. It is true she had been at school for a considerable number of years, and she had enjoyed also the good fortune of being at that identical school of which so many are in want fbut what she learned there was so prepared, so dried, and ground down for use so administered in doses, rather than supplied as food, that it scarcely answered the purpose of contributing to the healthy sustenance of a vigorous mind. Once, and once only, had she tasted the real luxury of acquiring knowledge. It was during her last stay in Devonshire, when she had so often been the companion of Mr. Falkner and his pupil, in their rambles along that interesting coast; and now, on returning to the scene of so much enjoyment, she was but ill prepared to find that neither the ocean, the cliffs, nor the scattered rocks, possessed within themselves the power to charm as they had charmed before.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex character of Louisa Temple, an orphan girl whose spirited nature struggles against the restrictions imposed by her guardian and by a life of poverty. When she takes up the position of a governess in the household of the wealthy Lumley family, Louisa faces a multitude of challenges that put her fiery spirit to the test. Against a backdrop of harsh Victorian expectations and social hierarchy, Louisa clashes with her employers, faces jealousy from her colleagues, and grapples with feelings of isolation. But amidst these trials, Louisa develops a connection with the enigmatic tutor, Mr. Falkner, who helps her to see her own strengths while revealing the softness beneath his own stern exterior. Through Louisa's experiences, the author delves into themes of self-discovery and personal growth in the face of adversity. This book challenges societal norms and explores the transformative power of human connection. Ultimately, Louisa's journey illuminates the complexities of human nature and the resilience of the human spirit, leaving readers with a profound appreciation for individuality and the indomitable strength that lies within us all.
