''The Flower of the Family: A Tale of Domestic Life'' is a novel written by Elizabeth Prentiss and first published in 1866. The story revolves around the life of a young woman named Lily who is the ''flower'' of her family. She is beautiful, kind, and beloved by all who know her. However, her life takes a turn for the worse when she falls in love with a man who is not a Christian. Her family disapproves of the relationship, and Lily must choose between her love for this man and her faith. The novel explores themes of love, faith, and family, and provides a glimpse into domestic life in the mid-19th century. Through Lily’s struggles, the author encourages readers to prioritize their faith and to make choices that honor God. The book is a classic work of Christian fiction and is still widely read and enjoyed today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...
