Description

A Rose in June by Margaret Oliphant follows Rose Damerel, a charming young woman raised between her father’s carefree ideals and her mother’s practical demands. As she enjoys a sheltered life, tensions arise over duty and expectation. Set in a country rectory, the novel explores family dynamics, youthful innocence, and the pressures shaping a woman’s path toward maturity and responsibility.

Author

Margaret Oliphant (1828–1897) was a Scottish novelist who wrote as if the rent depended on it — because it often did. Widowed young, she supported a large household with novels, biographies, reviews, and stories of the seen and unseen, becoming one of the Victorian age's most tireless professionals. Domestic realism, historical fiction, and ghostly tales all came from the same steady pen.
