Description

A tale that quietly changes hearts while painting the sea-washed streets of a British island. A romance tempered by duty, Carette of Sark invites readers into a world where courage and courtesy shape character as surely as the tides shape the shore. In Oxenham's deft, crystal-clear prose, the island setting and Edwardian Britain ambience fuse with enduring themes of romance and virtue, social class, and personal integrity. This is a character-driven story that rewards attention to motive and mood as much as plot, appealing to general fiction readers and classic-literature collectors alike. The book lingers where kindness, steadfastness, and quiet sacrifice meet the realities of everyday life, offering a thoughtful window into a bygone era without sacrificing immediacy or emotional pull. Rarely reissued for modern audiences, Carette of Sark carries historical resonance as a beloved public domain novel that captures the sensibilities of early twentieth-century fiction. Its appearance now by Alpha Editions marks a moment of literary preservation: a restored treasure for today's readers and future generations. Out of print for decades, this edition is more than a reprint-it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, a gift for readers who relish nuanced character studies, seaside atmosphere, and the quiet virtues that endure.
