Henry Handel Richardson 
The Getting of Wisdom [EPUB ebook] 

Henry Handel Richardson was the pseudonym of Ethel Florence Lindesay Richardson, a writer who was born in 1870 to a reasonably well-off family which later fell on hard times. The author’s family lived in various Victorian towns and from the age of 13 to 17 Richardson attended boarding school at the Presbyterian Ladies’ College in Melbourne, Victoria. It’s this experience that feeds directly into The Getting of Wisdom.
