Daughters Of Heaven

By Victoria Cross

Book Overview

Daughters of Heaven is a novel by Victoria Cross that tells the story of two sisters, Mary and Rachel, who are sent to a boarding school in England in the late 19th century. The girls come from a wealthy family in New Zealand and are used to a life of luxury, but at the school, they are forced to adapt to a new way of life. The book explores the themes of class, gender, and identity as the sisters navigate their way through the rigid social hierarchy of the school. Mary, the elder sister, is rebellious and determined to break free from the constraints of her upbringing, while Rachel is more reserved and struggles to fit in. As the girls grow up and face the challenges of adulthood, they must confront their own desires and ambitions, as well as the expectations of their family and society. The novel is a compelling portrait of two young women coming of age in a time of great change, and it offers a nuanced and insightful look at the complexities of female identity and empowerment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
