The narrative centers on Alfred Bligh, who returns to England with his Australian bride, Gladys, after years of wandering. Their arrival shocks the Bligh family, steeped in British elitism and prejudice against Australians. As Gladys strives to win their acceptance, she uncovers the family's hypocrisy. This comedic tale critiques 19th-century British culture through the lens of an outsider, highlighting themes of identity and societal biases. E.W. Hornung's debut novel offers a fresh perspective, enhanced for modern readers with a new cover and readable font.
