Description

Sir Tom by Margaret Oliphant follows Sir Thomas Randolph, a once reckless man whose fortunes are restored through marriage to the heiress Lucy Trevor. As he assumes the role of landowner, he faces the demands of responsibility, marriage, and social expectation. With family tensions rising, the novel explores transformation, duty, and the fragile balance between past folly and present respectability.

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.
