Children of the Earth is a novel written by Annie Robertson Macfarlane and first published in 1886. The story takes place in Scotland and follows the lives of two sisters, Effie and Jeanie, who are orphaned at a young age and forced to navigate the challenges of life on their own. Effie, the elder sister, is determined to provide for herself and her younger sibling, and takes on various jobs to make ends meet. Jeanie, on the other hand, is more dreamy and imaginative, and often finds solace in nature and the beauty of the world around her. As the sisters grow older, they each encounter their fair share of struggles and hardships. Effie faces discrimination and mistreatment in her work as a maid, while Jeanie falls in love with a man who is already engaged to someone else. Despite these challenges, the sisters remain close and supportive of each other, and their resilience and determination ultimately help them to overcome their difficulties and find happiness. Children of the Earth is a poignant and heartfelt story about the power of family, love, 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.
