The Flower Of Gloster (1911)

The Flower of Gloster is a novel written by Ernest Temple Thurston and published in 1911. Set in the English countryside, the story follows the life of a young woman named Cicely, who lives with her father, Sir John Darryll, in their ancestral home, Gloster Hall. Cicely is a beautiful and intelligent woman who is admired by many, but she is also fiercely independent and determined to live life on her own terms. As the story unfolds, Cicely finds herself torn between two suitors: the charming and charismatic Lord St. George, and the quiet and reserved Dr. Richard Thorne. While Lord St. George is wealthy and influential, Dr. Thorne is a kind and thoughtful man who shares Cicely's love of nature and the outdoors. As Cicely struggles to choose between these two very different men, she must also contend with a number of other challenges. Her father is gravely ill, and she is forced to take on more responsibility than ever before. She also faces opposition from some of the more conservative members of her community, who disapprove of her unconventional ideas and independent spirit. Despite these obstacles, Cicely remains true to herself and her own desires. Ultimately, she finds love and happiness with the man who truly understands and appreciates her for who she is. The Flower of Gloster is a timeless tale of love, independence, and the struggle to find one's place in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
