Book Overview

The Years That The Locust Hath Eaten is a novel written by Annie E. Holdsworth and published in 1896. The book is set in the late 19th century and follows the story of a young woman named Muriel Trevor, who is forced to leave her home in England and move to South Africa with her family due to financial difficulties. The novel explores themes of love, loss, and redemption as Muriel struggles to adapt to her new surroundings and cope with the challenges of living in a foreign country. She finds solace in the friendship of a local missionary, who helps her to discover her own strength and resilience. The title of the book is taken from the biblical passage Joel 2:25, which speaks of a time when God will restore what has been lost or destroyed. The metaphor of the locusts represents the hardships and challenges that Muriel and her family face, but also suggests the possibility of renewal and restoration. Overall, The Years That The Locust Hath Eaten is a poignant and uplifting story about the power of faith and perseverance in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
