Isabella Fyvie Mayo was een Schotse dichteres, romanschrijfster, suffragiste en hervormster die ook schreef onder het pseudoniem Edward Garrett. Haar literaire bijdragen verkenden thema's van morele dilemma's en sociale hervormingen, en toonden een scherp inzicht in de menselijke natuur. Mayo gebruikte haar schrijven als een middel voor belangenbehartiging, waarbij ze heersende normen uitdaagde en vooruitgang stimuleerde. Haar stijl wordt gekenmerkt door psychologische diepgang en suggestieve beschrijvingen, die lezers trekken naar diepgaande reflecties over de complexiteit van het leven.
Set in Scotland during the late 19th century, this novel tells the story of a young woman's struggles with her faith and family. Mayo interweaves themes of romance, redemption, and the beauty of nature in this moving work of historical fiction.
