Description

The Last of the Mortimers: A Story in Two Voices by Margaret Oliphant follows sisters Milly and Sarah Mortimer as they confront family legacy, secrets, and the search for an heir in their fading estate. Told through two perspectives, the novel explores duty, identity, and the passage of time, capturing the tensions, rivalries, and emotional weight of inheritance within a decaying but proud household.

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.
