Opis

Margaret Oliphant was widely recognised at the time of her death as one of the great Victorian writers of fiction. Yet many of Oliphant's works remain unavailable. This novella recounts the story of Mr. and Mrs. Lycett-Landon and of what becomes of their marriage when Mr. Lycett-Landon becomes uncommunicative while on an extended business trip.
