Description

The Sorceress by Margaret Oliphant follows the Kingsward family, centering on Bee and her sister Betty as they navigate love and expectation.

As doubt and social pressure grow, the story explores love, misunderstanding, and emotional turmoil within a close family circle.

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.
