The Charwoman's Daughter is a novel written by James Stephens and published in 1917. The story is set in Dublin, Ireland, and follows the life of Mary Makebelieve, the daughter of a charwoman. Mary is a dreamer and spends much of her time lost in her own imagination, creating stories and characters in her mind. Despite her poverty and difficult upbringing, Mary is a bright and cheerful girl who finds joy in the smallest things. As she grows older, Mary's imagination leads her to pursue a career in the theatre, and she becomes a successful actress. However, her success is short-lived, as she falls in love with a wealthy man who does not reciprocate her feelings. Heartbroken and disillusioned, Mary returns to her old life and begins to question the value of her dreams and aspirations. The Charwoman's Daughter is a poignant and insightful exploration of the human condition, exploring themes of poverty, class, and the power of imagination. Stephens' writing is lyrical and evocative, capturing the essence of Dublin and its inhabitants with vivid detail. The novel is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
