About this book
In the late 19th century, societal expectations weighed heavily on individuals, particularly those born into privilege. "Black Sheep: A Novel" by Edmund Yates delves into the life of George Dallas, a young man grappling with his identity amidst the opulence of his affluent family. As he navigates the complexities of familial loyalty and personal integrity, themes of class disparity and the quest for authenticity emerge. Unique to this narrative is Dallas's struggle against the constraints of wealth and the profound sense of alienation he feels from his stepfather, Mr. Carruthers. Ideal for students and historians alike, this compelling tale invites readers to explore the intricate dynamics of family and society in a rapidly changing world.
