The Flower Of Gloster (1911)

The Flower of Gloster is a novel written by Ernest Temple Thurston and published in 1911. The story is set in the early 1900s in England and follows the life of a young woman named Sybil Falcon who is the daughter of a wealthy family. Sybil is beautiful, intelligent, and talented, but she is also headstrong and independent, which often leads her into trouble. The novel explores themes of love, family, class, and gender roles. Sybil falls in love with a man named Gerald Anstruther, who is from a lower social class than her own. Their relationship is met with disapproval from Sybil's family, who want her to marry someone of their own social standing. As the story unfolds, Sybil's family faces financial difficulties, and she must decide whether to marry for love or for financial security. She also faces challenges in her relationships with her mother and sister, who have very different views on what it means to be a woman in society. The Flower of Gloster is a compelling story that provides insight into the social norms and expectations of early 20th-century England. It is a timeless tale of love and family that will resonate with readers of all ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
