Description

Poor Dear Margaret Kirby is a novel by Kathleen Norris, first published in 1908. The story centers around Margaret Kirby, a young woman from a poor family who dreams of a better life. Margaret is a talented artist and hopes to make a living from her work, but struggles to find success in a world that values wealth and social status above all else.As Margaret navigates the challenges of life in early 20th century America, she encounters a cast of characters who both help and hinder her progress. These include her wealthy aunt, who offers Margaret a chance to escape poverty but also tries to control her life, and a group of bohemian artists who inspire Margaret but also expose her to danger and temptation.Throughout the novel, Norris explores themes of class, gender, and creativity, and offers a nuanced portrait of a young woman struggling to find her place in a rapidly changing world. With its vivid characters, richly detailed settings, and insightful commentary on the human condition, Poor Dear Margaret Kirby remains a compelling and thought-provoking read more than a century after its initial publication.But the hour was darker and colder for Alanna. She searched and she hoped and she prayed in vain. She stood up, after a long hands-and- knees expedition under the tables where she had been earlier, and pressed her right hand over her eyes, and said aloud in her misery, ""Oh, I CAN'T have lost it! I CAN'T have. Oh, don't let me have lost it!""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
