Description

Sisters Milly and Sarah Mortimer face family legacy, buried secrets, and the search for an heir in a fading estate told in two voices of duty, rivalry, and inheritance that will not wait. Pride and kinship press on every claim the household still owns. Spoken as when the last of the Mortimers still asks what a proud house keeps when the bloodline itself is running out.

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.
