Description

Further Oliphant stories widen past the opening widow’s return into conscience, inheritance, strange adventure, and hard bargains of love across households already unsettled by duty and desire. Queen Eleanor, Mademoiselle, Percival, and the heirs of Kellie share the pressure of secrets that will not stay polite. A second volume of usable listening drama where feeling meets social cost.

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.
