Summary

** "Miss Con" by Agnes Giberne is a late 19th-century story that follows Constance Conway, a young woman who steps into the role of governess and companion for the Romilly family while their mother is ill. The story highlights the challenges faced by young women finding their place in society, alongside Constance's personal growth as she juggles responsibility and self-discovery. The book starts with Constance grappling with her brother-in-law, Craven's, low expectations and her own worries about being suitable for the job, especially given her affection and concern for both Mrs. Romilly and her daughters; ultimately, fueled by a sense of duty and a desire to help, Constance decides to take on the role, setting the stage for her to both manage her place within the family and discover her strength. **
