The Daisy Chain Or Aspirations is a novel written by Charlotte M. Yonge. It tells the story of a family, the Maynards, and their struggles and triumphs in life. The central character is Ethel Maynard, the eldest daughter, who takes on the role of mother to her younger siblings after their mother dies. The novel explores themes of family, duty, religion, and social class. It also delves into the aspirations of the Maynard children, particularly Ethel, who dreams of becoming a missionary. The novel is set in the mid-19th century in England and provides a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the time. The Daisy Chain Or Aspirations is a classic work of Victorian literature and is considered one of Yonge's most popular and enduring novels.The misfortunes of that day disheartened and disconcerted Etheldred. To do mischief where she most wished to do good, to grieve where she longed to comfort, seemed to be her fate; it was vain to attempt anything for anyone's good, while all her warm feelings and high aspirations were thwarted by the awkward ungainly hands and heedless eyes that Nature had given her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
