Description

Rose Damerel grows between her father’s carefree ideals and her mother’s practical demands in a country rectory, where duty and expectation press on youthful charm toward maturity. Family tension shapes a woman’s path without sparing her innocence. Spoken as when a rose in June still asks what a sheltered girl becomes once the household already owns her future.

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.
