Description

Highcourt’s second volume presses the cost of covering another’s crime as Grace’s secret hardens past the adultery the squire invents, and Rosalind’s loyalty meets the lawyer’s facts. Four children, a tyrant’s heart, and evening doors that will not stay shut force trust to choose a side. Continuation of domestic reckoning: affection and authority settle their bill.

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.
