The book is set in the late 19th century and follows the lives of three siblings, Grace, John, and Lucy, who are the children of a wealthy merchant in the town of Gibeon. The story begins with the sudden death of their father and the subsequent financial struggles that the family faces.As they navigate their new circumstances, the siblings each take different paths in life. Grace becomes a governess and falls in love with a wealthy man, John becomes a successful businessman, and Lucy becomes a socialite and marries a man from a prominent family. However, their lives are not without challenges and setbacks, and the siblings must come together to support each other through difficult times.Throughout the novel, Besant explores themes of family, love, class, and societal expectations. The book also provides a glimpse into Victorian-era England, with its strict social norms and cultural traditions. Overall, Children of Gibeon is a compelling tale of family dynamics and the struggles of the working class in 19th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
