Summary "Sister Gertrude: A Tale of the West Riding" by D. F. E. Sykes is a semi-autobiographical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores social issues, focusing on the lives of working-class individuals in the town of Huddersfield and the moral struggles of its protagonist, Edward Beaumont. The narrative centers around Sister Gertrude, a beautiful and idealistic member of the Salvation Army, who passionately advocates for the impoverished and downtrodden." "At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a summer evening in the 1880s, bustling with activity in Huddersfield as market-goers engage in social interactions and commerce. Two young solicitors, Edward Beaumont and Sam Storth, come across a gathering around Sister Gertrude, who is speaking out against societal norms and urging her audience to lead more virtuous lives. Intrigued by her beauty and message, Beaumont is compelled to listen, setting the stage for his moral introspection and the exploration of class struggles that will be woven throughout the narrative."
