Pallinghurst Barrow - Grant Allen - Bog

Pallinghurst Barrow is a novel by the British author Grant Allen, first published in 1886. The story is set in the English countryside and follows the lives of two families, the Pallings and the Hursts, who have been feuding for generations. The main character is a young man named Julian Palling, who inherits the family estate of Pallinghurst Barrow and becomes embroiled in the ongoing conflict with the Hursts. Julian is torn between his loyalty to his family and his desire to end the feud and live in peace. Along the way, he falls in love with a young woman named Janet Hurst, further complicating the situation. The novel explores themes of family loyalty, love, and the destructive nature of long-standing grudges. It is a classic example of Victorian-era literature, with detailed descriptions of the English countryside and a focus on the moral dilemmas faced by the characters. Allen's writing style is elegant and engaging, making Pallinghurst Barrow a timeless work of fiction.""Oh! Mr. Cameron, how can you?"" Mrs. Bouverie-Barton cried, quite pettishly; for even advanced ladies are still feminine enough at times to be distinctly pettish. ""I take the greatest trouble to keep all such rubbish out of Joyce's way; and then you men of science come down here and talk like this to her, and undo all the good I've taken months in doing.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
