Step within The Mrs Oliphant Library, where the lamp is lit, the curtains drawn, and the quiet voices of another century begin again. Here are novels of households and hearts, of provincial streets and church spires, of women’s wit, sorrow, duty, and courage; stories in which the ordinary parlour may open, almost unawares, upon the unseen. Each book is read in full, for those who love Victorian fiction in all its tenderness, irony, mystery, and truth.Public domain

    In which Catherine Vernon, with a mixture of kindness and curiosity, visits her cousin’s family on their return to the Vernonry, only to be met with a spirited and unexpected resistance from young Hester, whose fiery defence conceals the turmoil within. As their encounter closes in uneasy silence, the scene reveals the delicate and often contradictory ties of family, pride, and the burdens of old resentments softly unfolding in the twilight.

    In which we observe the peaceful and benevolent Catherine Vernon in her later years, surrounded by the youthful relations and dependants she so kindly shelters, while the curious townsfolk cast their speculations upon her unusual residence, the Vernonry. Into this placid scene arrives Mrs. John Vernon and her daughter Hester, drawing out from the girl a restless desire to comprehend the tangled past that led them back to a place both familiar and stranger than they had imagined.

    In which the distinguished banking house of the Vernons, famed across the Home Counties for its wealth and solidity, faces the subtle beginnings of financial unease, all under the shadow of family discord and difficult personalities. The scene gently unfolds around Mrs. John Vernon, a lady of refinement and innocence in business matters, who is suddenly called upon to confront the quiet storm threatening the seemingly impregnable institution.
