''Return: A Story Of The Sea Islands In 1739'' is a historical fiction novel written by Alice MacGowan and originally published in 1905. The story is set in the Sea Islands, off the coast of South Carolina, during the year 1739. The plot revolves around the life of a young girl named Judith Whittington, who is forced to return to her family’s plantation on the Sea Islands after being sent away to England for her education. Upon her return, Judith is confronted with the harsh realities of life on the plantation, including the mistreatment of slaves and the threat of a rebellion. As the story progresses, Judith becomes increasingly involved in the lives of the slaves on the plantation and begins to question the morality of the institution of slavery. The novel explores themes of race, class, and gender, and offers a glimpse into the complex social and political landscape of colonial America. Overall, ''Return: A Story Of The Sea Islands In 1739'' is a thought-provoking and engaging work of historical fiction that sheds light on an often-overlooked period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
