A Sherburne Quest is a novel written by Amanda Minnie Douglas and first published in 1902. The story follows the journey of the Sherburne family, a wealthy and influential family in New York City, as they navigate the challenges of their personal and professional lives. The patriarch of the family, Mr. Sherburne, is a successful businessman who has built his fortune through hard work and determination. However, his children, especially his daughter, Edith, are not content with their privileged lives and seek to find their own paths in life.As the story unfolds, the Sherburne family faces a series of trials and tribulations, including financial setbacks, romantic entanglements, and personal conflicts. Edith, in particular, struggles to find her place in the world and must confront her own desires and ambitions as she navigates the challenges of love and family.Throughout the book, Douglas explores themes of family, love, ambition, and the pursuit of happiness. She portrays the Sherburne family as flawed but ultimately resilient, and she offers a nuanced and complex portrait of the American upper class at the turn of the 20th century.Overall, A Sherburne Quest is a compelling and insightful work of fiction that offers a unique perspective on American society and culture during a time of great change and transformation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
