Book Overview

Miss Cheyne of Essilmont is a novel written by James Grant and published in 1884. The book tells the story of a young woman named Mary Cheyne, who inherits the estate of Essilmont after her father's death. Mary is a strong-willed and independent woman, who is determined to manage the estate herself, despite the objections of her family and the local community. As Mary tries to establish herself as a successful landowner, she faces a number of challenges, including financial difficulties, a family feud, and a romantic entanglement with a young man named Frank Norcross. Along the way, Mary must navigate the complexities of Victorian society, including the expectations placed on women of her class and the prejudices of those around her. Miss Cheyne of Essilmont is a classic Victorian novel that explores themes of class, gender, and identity. It is a compelling story of a woman's struggle to find her place in the world and to assert her independence in a society that often denies women agency and autonomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
