"Everybody's Business" by Agnes Giberne is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the small village of Old Maxham and centers around Jessie Perkins, a spirited young woman, and the challenges faced by her and the villagers, particularly involving a storm-threatened shipwreck that prompts a brave rescue effort. The initial chapters introduce us to her interactions with various characters, revealing the dynamics within the village as they confront calamity and explore themes of duty, courage, and community. At the start of the novel, we find Jessie Perkins anxious about a storm and keen to investigate rumors of trouble at the village shop. As she engages with her aunt, Miss Perkins, we see the contrast between Jessie’s youthful impulsiveness and her aunt’s stern practicality. The storm's brewing tension escalates as news of a ship in peril ignites discussion among the villagers, leading to a bold decision by the new Vicar, Mr. Gilbert, to organize a rescue effort despite the danger. The opening chapters set the stage for a story that promises to explore themes of bravery and the intertwining lives of the townsfolk as they unite or clash in the face of crisis. Jessie's character is portrayed as vibrant and eager, hinting at personal growth and burgeoning feelings as the narrative unfolds.
