Boggs, Sara E. Sandpeep. †$1.50. Little.
Keren Happuch Brenson, better known as Sandpeep, a child of the waves as well as the shore who “fished and lobstered for a living” and listened in ecstasy to the music of her fiddle string across the pane of her cobwebby loft, is a heroine “rustic from her finger tips to her innermost cerebral atom.” Her development from the moment she became young Geoffrey Warrington’s governess to the day that established her in Munich for musical study is characterized by fearless loyalty and keen devotion to purpose. With a “Jane Eyre heroine and a virtuous Rochester” the story also records the mercenary intrigue of a woman’s substitution, of herself and child for her departed twin sister and baby, out of which deception grows the plot.
