Helbeck Of Bannisdale Vol. I - Paperback

Helbeck of Bannisdale V1 is a novel written by Mrs. Humphry Ward. The book is set in the late 19th century in England and tells the story of Laura Fountain, a young woman who falls in love with Alan Helbeck, a wealthy and devout Catholic who lives in the remote Bannisdale estate. Despite their different religious beliefs and social backgrounds, Laura and Alan become close friends and eventually fall in love. However, their relationship is complicated by the interference of Alan's mother, who disapproves of Laura and seeks to prevent their marriage. As the story unfolds, Laura must navigate the challenges of her love for Alan while also confronting her own doubts about religion and morality. The novel explores themes of love, faith, and social class, and offers a nuanced portrayal of the complexities of relationships and personal beliefs.From that night onwards the relations between Helbeck and his sister's stepdaughter took another tone. He no longer went his own way, with no more than a vague consciousness that a curious and difficult girl was in the house; he watched her with increasing interest; he began to taste, as it were, the thorny charm that was her peculiar possession.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
