British novelist and scientific writer Agnes Giberne (1845-1939) shows here all the hallmarks of her writing, interlinking spiritual introspection, personal growth and character development. Typical evangelic fiction with a moralistic theme. Giberne is better remembered for her books on popular astronomy.
