Miss Con by Agnes Giberne
"Miss Con" by Agnes Giberne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Constance Conway, a young woman navigating her new role as a governess and companion to the Romilly family as they face the absence of their mother due to illness. Central themes include the struggles of young women in a changing society, as well as Constance's journey of self-discovery amidst her responsibilities. The beginning of thebook introduces Constance and her relationship with her brother-in-law, Craven, who encourages her to take a position with the Romilly family. Craven's dismissive attitude towards Constance's capabilities, combined with her mounting sense of duty and concern for the Romilly girls, creates an internal conflict as she feels uncertain about her fitness for the role. Constance resolves to accept the position after considering her bond with Mrs. Romilly and the need for her assistance, setting the stage for her to navigate the challenges of both working within a family and fostering her own independence.
