Kirsteen is a novel written by Scottish author Margaret Oliphant. The book tells the story of Kirsteen, a young woman who lives in a small Scottish village in the 19th century. Kirsteen is the daughter of a fisherman and has grown up in poverty. Despite her difficult circumstances, she is determined to make a better life for herself and her family. Kirsteen is a strong and independent character who is not afraid to work hard. She takes on various jobs, including working in a fish factory and as a servant for a wealthy family. Along the way, she faces many challenges and struggles, but she remains determined to succeed. The novel explores themes of social class, gender roles, and the importance of education. It also provides a vivid portrayal of life in a small Scottish village during the 19th century. Overall, Kirsteen is a compelling and inspiring story of a young woman's journey to overcome adversity and achieve her dreams. It is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.They made her sick at heart; and London, people said, was bigger (if that were possible) and no doubt more dreadful still! Oh that it could all turn out a dream from which she might wake to find herself once more by the side of the linn, with the roar of the water, and no sickening clamour of ill tongues in her ear! But already the linn, and the far-off life by its side were away from her as if they had passed centuries ago.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
