Publisher's Synopsis
East Angels is a novel written by Constance Fenimore Woolson, a prominent American author of the late 19th century. The book follows the story of two young women, Aurora and Clementina, who hail from vastly different backgrounds but are brought together by fate. Aurora is a wealthy heiress from the North who has come to the South to escape the constraints of her privileged life. Clementina, on the other hand, is a poor Southern girl who dreams of a better life.As the two women become friends, they are drawn into the tumultuous world of the post-Civil War South, where racial tensions run high and the old ways of life are crumbling. Together, they navigate the challenges of this new world, facing prejudice, violence, and betrayal along the way. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a group of former slaves who are fighting for their rights, a wealthy plantation owner who is struggling to adapt to the changing times, and a mysterious stranger who may hold the key to their future.Through it all, Woolson weaves a powerful tale of friendship, love, and redemption that captures the spirit of a changing nation. With its vivid descriptions of Southern life and its nuanced portrayal of complex characters, East Angels is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
