Publisher's Synopsis
Miss Sarah Jack of Spanish Town Jamaica is a novel written by Anthony Trollope. The story is set in Jamaica during the 19th century and follows the life of Sarah Jack, a young woman who is the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner. Sarah's life is turned upside down when her father dies, leaving her with a significant inheritance and the responsibility of managing the plantation. As Sarah navigates the challenges of running the plantation, she also must deal with the social and political issues of the time, including slavery and the fight for Jamaican independence. Along the way, Sarah finds herself torn between two suitors, a wealthy Englishman and a local Jamaican man. The novel explores themes of love, power, and identity in a complex and nuanced way, providing a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of Jamaica during this time period.Miss Jack was a person in whom I think we may say that the good predominated over the bad. She was often morose, crabbed, and self- opinionated. but then she knew her own imperfections, and forgave those she loved for evincing their dislike of them. Maurice Cumming was often inattentive to her, plainly showing that he was worried by her importunities and ill at ease in her company.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
