About this book
In the late 19th century, societal norms around family and identity were in flux, as women began to assert their independence and seek their own paths. "Brooke's Daughter: A Novel" by Adeline Sergeant explores this transformation through the eyes of Lesley Brooke, who leaves the confines of a convent to confront her past and embrace her future. As she navigates the complexities of familial ties and personal aspirations, themes of self-discovery and the struggle for autonomy resonate deeply. This compelling narrative invites readersâespecially students and civic activistsâto reflect on the evolving roles of women in society. With vivid characterizations and poignant dilemmas, Sergeantâs work remains a powerful exploration of identity and belonging.
