Beschreibung

In "Marooned on Australia," Ernest Favenc presents a gripping tale of survival and exploration set against the unforgiving backdrop of the Australian wilderness. Favenc skillfully weaves together adventure and reflection, employing a vivid, descriptive literary style that immerses the reader in both the physical challenges and psychological nuances experienced by his characters. This work, published during the late 19th century, resonates within the broader context of colonial literature, engaging with themes of isolation, resilience, and the complex relationships between man and nature. Ernest Favenc, an astute observer of the landscapes and cultures of Australia, was born in 1845 in England and later immigrated to Australia. His rich experiences as a surveyor, explorer, and writer deeply informed his literary works. Favenc's fascination with the Australian outback, alongside his first-hand encounters with the land's vastness and harshness, serves as a potent source of inspiration in "Marooned on Australia," where he explores human endurance against formidable odds. I highly recommend "Marooned on Australia" to readers interested in adventure, exploration, and the human spirit. Favenc's unflinching portrayal of survival challenges will resonate with those who appreciate the intricacies of nature and the depth of human emotion in the face of adversity.

    So much has been accomplished. Lillian Walsh has stepped out courageously beyond what she'd ever dreamed of being able to achieve. She and her newly rediscovered sister, Grace, have settled three children from England into new Canadian homes and are prepared to place two more just after the New Year, when it happens--another painful disruption.  
     
    A white lie the sisters used to protect some orphans has resulted in an official complaint and a letter revoking the sisters' permission to manage their little children's home. And unexpectedly, Walter, the young man who has won Lillian's heart, departs for a job in the oil industry without leaving any hope for their future, making her confused and lonely. 
     
    With more children on their way from England needing caring homes, Lillian and Grace must use every ounce of gumption to keep their mission alive. But when startling information about the past surfaces and a new arrival comes via suspicious circumstances, they'll have to decide what is worth fighting for and what is better left in God's hands.
