Description

Henry Dunbar is a Victorian sensation novel of crime, guilt, and retribution. After decades of exile following a youthful forgery scandal, Henry Dunbar prepares to return to the powerful banking family he once disgraced. His reappearance stirs buried secrets, old betrayals, and dangerous ambitions among those tied to his past. As truth and deception collide, Braddon explores moral consequence, identity, and the inescapable reach of past sins.
