Description

Madonna Mary: A Novel by Margaret Oliphant follows Mary Ochterlony in British India as her marriage is shaken by doubts over its legitimacy after a key witness’s death. While her husband grows anxious, Mary resists his proposal of a second ceremony. Blending tension and emotion, the novel explores love, honor, pride, and the strain of societal expectations on a fragile relationship.

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.
