Description

After the Laird of Norlaw dies, his widow and three Livingstone sons face grief, inheritance, and uncertain futures in rural Scotland where duty and family bonds meet hard practical stakes. Legacy presses on every choice left behind. Spoken as when the laird of Norlaw still asks what a house can keep once the man who held it is gone.

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.
