Emily's Choice: An Australian Tale is a novel written by Maud Jeanne Franc and first published in 1875. Set in Australia during the 19th century, the book tells the story of Emily, a young woman who must navigate the challenges of love, family, and society in a rapidly changing world.The novel begins with Emily's arrival in Australia from England, where she has been sent by her father to live with her aunt and uncle. Emily is initially overwhelmed by the new environment and the unfamiliar customs of her Australian relatives, but she soon begins to adapt to her new life.As Emily grows up, she becomes involved in a number of romantic entanglements, including a passionate affair with a wealthy landowner named Charles. However, Emily's heart truly belongs to a young man named Herbert, who is from a much lower social class than she is.As Emily struggles to choose between her love for Herbert and the expectations of her family and society, she must also confront the harsh realities of life in colonial Australia, including droughts, bushfires, and the exploitation of Aboriginal people.Ultimately, Emily must make a choice that will determine the course of her life and the lives of those around her. Through Emily's story, Franc explores themes of love, loyalty, and the struggle for identity in a rapidly changing world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
