Description

Madam’s second stretch at Highcourt turns the night absences into a reckoning: the lawyer’s net, Rosalind’s stubborn loyalty, and a shame that was never the affair named aloud. Children, gossip, and a dying man’s power close on Grace’s cover. Spoken continuation: the cost of shielding a crime inside a house that already knows too much.

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.
