Author Warner, Susan, 1819-1885
Title Trading
Credits Produced by Daniel Fromont. HTML version by Al Haines.
Summary "Trading" by Susan Warner is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the character Matilda Laval, who is happily immersed in her newfound life and the excitement of Christmas, yet she grapples with a sense of responsibility towards the less fortunate. It explores themes of generosity, compassion, and the contrast between social classes through Matilda's experiences and revelations during a festive holiday gathering. At the start of the novel, Christmas is overshadowed by grey clouds, yet the atmosphere inside Mrs. Lloyd's home is filled with warmth and cheer. Matilda is busy preparing for the holiday festivities while contemplating her new life and feelings of happiness contrasted with her worries for others, particularly a poor girl named Sarah Staples living in miserable conditions. As the excitement of the party unfolds, Matilda's internal conflict emerges as she realizes her privileged position in stark contrast to Sarah's hardships. This opening sets the stage for Matilda's journey as she reconciles her joy with a budding desire to help those in need. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
