Hester
Hester | Margaret Oliphant
1 post | 5 read | 5 to read
Hester (1883) is about the difficulty of understanding human nature, and a compulsive story of financial and sexual risk-taking that mounts towards a searing climax. It tells of the ageing but powerful Catherine Vernon, and her conflict with the young and determined Hester, whose growing attachment to Edward, Catherine's favourite, spells disaster for all concerned.

This was the Victober group read for this year, which I finished this week and really liked! I will definitely read more Oliphant, maybe even this month to fit some other prompts ...
