Description

Bee Kingsward’s engagement to widower Aubrey Leigh collapses when Miss Lance’s forged-dated letter claims a prior promise and Colonel Kingsward forbids the match. Bee and her mother hear Aubrey’s very different account of the adventuress who once clung to his late wife. Doubt, loyalty, and manipulation thicken inside one family. Oliphant’s middle volume of social pressure and a love under siege.

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.
