"Brought Out of Peril" by Emma Leslie is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the struggles of Fanny Brown, a young girl who has just completed her first month in service and returns home for a holiday. The narrative explores themes of family responsibility, sacrifice, and social challenges faced by working-class individuals in that era as Fanny grapples with her finances and family obligations while navigating the expectations placed upon her. At the start of the book, we meet Fanny, who is excited to share her news about her successful month in service, including earning wages. However, her pride in her new watch becomes a source of conflict with her mother, who feels betrayed that Fanny spent her earnings rather than contributing to their family's needs, particularly in supporting Fanny's delicate sister, Eliza, who has been offered a chance to go to the seaside for health reasons. As tensions rise between Fanny's desires and her family's struggles, we see glimpses of other characters, like Jessie Collins, who introduces the idea of finding work in a blacking factory. This opening sets the stage for deeper explorations of familial duty and the pull between self-interest and the needs of loved ones.
