Meer over het boek
Magdalen Vanstone and her sister Norah confront the harsh realities of social stigma in Victorian England after discovering their parents were not married when they were born, leaving them disinherited and orphaned. Forced from their beloved Combe-Raven estate, they must navigate a challenging future. While Norah chooses a life of duty as a governess, Magdalen, the spirited younger sister, seeks to reclaim her inheritance through bold and reckless means. With her striking beauty and dramatic flair, she embarks on a quest for revenge, aided by the cunning Captain Wragge. This journey culminates in a dramatic choice: will she marry the man she despises to secure her future? Written in the early 1860s, this work faced criticism for its perceived immorality but is now celebrated for its profound social commentary, showcasing the author's literary prowess. The series has provided over a century of accessible literature, reflecting Oxford's dedication to scholarship with accurate texts, expert introductions, and helpful notes for deeper understanding.
