Description

Grace Trevanion keeps Highcourt under a dying squire who hints at her shame while stepdaughter Rosalind stays loyal through night absences and a man met after dark. Suspicion fills the house as a lawyer is sent for and authority turns tyrant. Domestic trial of affection: a secret that duty covers, and a girl torn between love and doubt.

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.
