Description

Lucilla Marjoribanks sets out to remake Carlingford’s social life with wit, charm, and ruthless planning, managing evenings, rivals, and admirers while ambition meets every expectation placed on a clever young woman. Humour and sharp insight share the drawing room. Spoken as when Miss Marjoribanks still asks what society will allow once one determined girl already owns the Thursday nights.

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.
