Five thousand pounds

** "Five Thousand Pounds" by Agnes Giberne is a story set in the late 1800s, focusing on a young girl, Phœbe, and her family's life in a cozy cottage. The tale looks at ideas about money, doing what's right, and how families connect when they suddenly get five thousand pounds, a surprise inheritance that turns their world upside down. You meet Phœbe as she enjoys a happy, simple life at home with her dad, Miles, her caring grandma, and her mom. Out of nowhere, they find out Miles is now rich thanks to a relative named Andrew Morison, and things get wild. At first, they're all thrilled, but soon they can’t agree on what to do with the cash, showing the cracks in their family ties as they struggle with what it means to have wealth and still be good people. **
