Description

Katherine and Stella Tredgold live under a rich, retired City father on the Isle of Wight. Favouritism, social pressure, and rivalry shape two temperaments sharing one unwritten will, and a dramatic outing tests how far each sister will go for place and love. Family life turns on who the old man likes today, and what that liking will cost tomorrow.

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.
