Description

Scandal and suspicion close on Frank Wentworth as Carlingford weighs his character, Lucy’s love hangs in the balance, and family ambition presses harder than any sermon. Oliphant’s continuation of parish intrigue, love under fire, and a curate fighting for his good name. The close-knit town will not wait for mercy.

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.
