About this eBook

Author Robertson, Margaret M. (Margaret Murray), 1821-1897
Title Janet's Love and Service
Credits Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
Summary "Janet's Love and Service" by Margaret M. Robertson is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the village of Clayton, focusing primarily on the life of Janet, the minister's loyal maid, as she navigates her responsibilities in the household while dealing with the weight of personal sacrifice. The book explores themes of duty, love, and the struggles of a motherless family, particularly through the lens of the young Graeme and her siblings. At the start of the narrative, we see a peaceful evening in the village of Clayton, disrupted by the anxieties of Janet and the immense responsibilities resting on her shoulders regarding the well-being of the minister’s children. Janet's concerns about her sick mother complicate her sense of duty, especially with the impending move of the minister and his family to America. As the chapter progresses, we witness the minister's return home, the children’s innocent worries, and the overwhelming sense of sorrow enveloping the family as they face the loss of their mother. The opening sets the stage for Janet's deep emotional conflicts and introduces the challenges ahead as they prepare for a new life across the sea. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
