Description

Flip Chubb grows up in California mining camps among frontiersmen and fortune-seekers, bold, sharp-tongued, and nowhere near the polite mould expected of a young woman. Then a refined Eastern gentleman walks into her world, and love forces her to weigh culture, pride, and who she actually is. Harte?s witty California romance: camp grit meeting Eastern manners, with humour and heat in the clash. Spoken as lively frontier story you want to follow to the next turn.

Author

Bret Harte (1836–1902) gave American literature one of its first great regional voices — the Gold Rush West rendered in short stories of luck, loyalty, and moral surprise. He saw California not as empty wilderness but as a theatre of human character: outcasts who discover dignity, camps that become temporary homes, and sentiment that arrives when least expected.
