About?

Published in 1856, this cherished novel from the Victorian era captivates readers with its heartfelt storytelling. Narrated in the first person by Phineas Fletcher, a frail son of a Quaker tanner, we are introduced to his world as a lonely youth. Enter John Halifax, an impoverished orphan who becomes Phineass first friend, welcomed into their home to assist with tasks that Phineass health prevents him from managing. Through Phineass eyes, we witness Johns remarkable journey from humble beginnings to wealth and success, but with prosperity comes its own set of dark challenges. This vivid narrative brings to life a cast of characters that feel as if they truly existed. (Summary by Stav Nisser) Coordinated by Stav Nisser & Patti Cunningham
