"A Daughter of Strife" by Jane Helen Findlater is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the life of Anne Champion, a struggling straw-plaiter in early 18th-century London, who dreams of a better existence with her lover, Surgeon Sebastian Shepley, serving at the wars. The narrative intricately explores themes of love, betrayal, and the struggles of women in a patriarchal society as Anne navigates her hardship with the hope of a brighter future. The opening of the novel introduces Anne, a resilient yet vulnerable young woman dedicated to her craft, living in dire poverty while waiting for news from her lover. Tension mounts when a stranger named Richard Meadowes arrives with unwelcome news about Sebastian, revealing that he has married someone else. As Anne grapples with heartbreak and betrayal, Meadowes's ulterior motives and his burgeoning interest in her complicate matters further. The beginning sets the stage for Anne's emotional journey and the conflicts that arise from her relationships, all against a backdrop of societal expectations and personal desires.
