The Undesirable Governess is a novel written by Francis Marion Crawford and published in 1910. The story takes place in Italy and revolves around a governess named Miss Bellamy. She is hired by an English family to teach their two children but soon finds herself in the middle of a complex web of family secrets and scandals. Miss Bellamy is an independent and strong-willed woman who is not afraid to speak her mind, which often puts her at odds with the family she works for. The novel explores themes of class, gender, and morality and is a fascinating portrayal of life in Italy during the early 20th century. With its richly drawn characters and intricate plot, The Undesirable Governess is a classic work of fiction that continues to captivate readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
