Description
Catherine Vernon, a woman who has long ruled her family with a knowing cynicism, is forced to confront the strength of her own personality when two individuals resist her authority. Hester, a young relation with a personality as strong as Catherine's, and Edward, her favourite, whom she treats like a son, pose a challenge to her power. As the complex relationships between the three principal characters develop, Margaret Oliphant explores the inevitable conflict between young and old.
