Publisher's Synopsis

The Blossoming Of An Aloe is a novel written by Frances Cashel Hoey and published in 1875. The story is set in Ireland and follows the life of a young girl named Grace who grows up in poverty but dreams of a better life. Grace is intelligent and ambitious, and she works hard to improve her situation. She becomes a governess and falls in love with her employer, a wealthy man named Mr. Wyndham. However, their relationship is complicated by social conventions and the disapproval of Mr. Wyndham's family. Grace must navigate these challenges while also dealing with her own personal struggles, including a difficult family situation and a tragic loss. The novel explores themes of love, class, and the struggle for self-improvement. It is a vivid and engaging portrayal of life in 19th-century Ireland, and a testament to the power of perseverance and determination.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
