Description

Mohawks is a Victorian novel of fate, class, and social transformation. When a dead traveler and an orphaned infant are found on Flamestead Common, the child’s future becomes entwined with the life of Squire Bosworth, a miserly landowner. Adopted into privilege, the boy’s origins cast a long shadow. Braddon explores identity, ambition, and moral consequence as lives shaped by chance unfold amid excess, power, and social expectation.
