Geoffrey Moncton: Or The Faithless Guardian is a novel written by Susanna Moodie and published in 1855. The story follows the life of the titular character, Geoffrey Moncton, a wealthy and respected landowner in rural England. However, his reputation is tarnished when he is accused of embezzling funds from his estate and betraying the trust of his tenants and friends. The novel explores the themes of betrayal, trust, and redemption as Geoffrey struggles to clear his name and regain the trust of those around him. Along the way, he encounters a cast of characters, including his loyal steward, a mysterious stranger, and a young woman who captures his heart. The novel is a gripping tale of intrigue and suspense, and a powerful exploration of the human capacity for both good and evil.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
