Description
The Earl of Cairnforth inherits his title at just hours old, following the tragic death of his parents. Orphaned and disabled, he faces a life of pain and loneliness, with those around him questioning whether he should survive. Despite this, the young Earl proves to be indomitable, transforming his estate and touching the lives of everyone he meets. However, the greatest challenge he will face is betrayal by the woman he has loved since childhood. This poignant novel by Dinah Mulock Craik offers a radical perspective on nineteenth-century attitudes to disability, family, and what it means to live a worthwhile life.
