Meer over het boek

The life of Margaret Oliphant Wilson is marked by both literary achievement and profound personal tragedy. After publishing her first novel in 1849, she married and had six children, three of whom died in infancy. Following her husband's death from tuberculosis, she returned to England to support her remaining children through writing. Despite her prolific career, she faced further heartbreak with the loss of her daughter and two sons. Her later years were overshadowed by grief, leading to a decline in health until her death in 1897.
