Book Description Would he sacrifice his good name for an orphan - a fisherman's daughter? Carefree Norrie had loved wealthy Harry Brandford from the moment she met him in St. Rose. But Lucy had also fallen for him, so Norrie must sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of her best friend. Anastasia English's 1899 novel Only a Fisherman's Daughter is the first to have been published in Newfoundland, and English is Newfoundland's first published female novelist. Although the novel is a romance, English portrays class tensions and the desire of women to seek adventure and achieve success outside of marriage.
