Book Overview

Ella: Or Turning Over A New Leaf is a novel written by Aimwell (pseudonym for Walter Aimwell) in 1857. The book tells the story of Ella, a young woman who has grown up in poverty and is determined to improve her circumstances. Ella is intelligent, hardworking, and ambitious, but she is also kind-hearted and compassionate. As the story progresses, Ella faces many challenges and obstacles, including financial difficulties, family problems, and romantic entanglements. She is forced to make difficult choices and sacrifices in order to achieve her goals and build a better life for herself. Along the way, she encounters a variety of interesting characters, including a wealthy businessman, a kind-hearted doctor, and a conniving rival.
