Salt of the Earth is a novel written by Mrs. Alfred Sidgwick and originally published in 1917. The story takes place in England and centers around the lives of two families, the Bensons and the Blakes. The Bensons are a wealthy family who live in a large country house, while the Blakes are a struggling family who live in a small cottage nearby. The novel explores themes of class, love, and family dynamics as the two families become intertwined through marriage and friendship. The main character, Margaret Benson, is a strong-willed and independent woman who falls in love with Richard Blake, a struggling artist. Despite the disapproval of Margaret’s family, the two marry and begin a life together. As the story unfolds, the reader sees the contrast between the privileged and comfortable life of the Bensons and the hardships faced by the Blakes. The novel also delves into the complexities of family relationships, as Margaret must navigate her relationships with her overbearing mother and her troubled brother. Overall, Salt of the Earth is a thought-provoking novel that explores the intricacies of social class and family dynamics in early 20th century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
