Description
The Shuttle is a novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, published in 1907. When her sister's enterprising spirit sets out to rescue her from an unhappy marriage, the impact on their lives and the traditional English country house they inhabit becomes clear.
Burnett explores the effects of American dynamism and affluence on a long-established English ruling class, as well as the ways in which new money can transform a great estate. This thought-provoking tale offers insight into the complexities of social change and the enduring power of family relationships.
A classic exploration of the intersection of old money and new, The Shuttle is a compelling read for anyone interested in the social and cultural history of early 20th-century England.
