Jess

H. Rider Haggard - 2018

Overview

Jess Croft resides with her sister Bessie and the farmer Silas on the vast Transvaal veldt. Her reserved nature stems from a childhood marked by loss, arriving in South Africa motherless from England. The arrival of Captain John Niel, an Englishman seeking a farming life, introduces a new dynamic. While he is drawn to Bessie's liveliness, Jess's enigmatic presence, with her sharp intellect and observant eyes, captivates him. The three are unexpectedly entwined by burgeoning emotions, leading to both connection and conflict.
