Description

Miss Marjoribanks by Margaret Oliphant follows Lucilla Marjoribanks, a determined young woman who sets out to transform the social life of Carlingford.

The novel blends humor and insight as Lucilla balances ambition, authority, and the expectations placed upon her.

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.
