A few weeks ago I read "Hester" by Margaret Oliphant. It was the first book I had read by her and it quickly became one of my all-time favorites.

Are you acquainted with Ms. Oliphant's work? Which would you recommend?
I'm not acquainted with her work, but man is that some list! I'll have to try to find something by her at my bookstore!
ReplyDeleteAnita- It's amazing how many books she wrote. She's a wonderful writer.
ReplyDeleteI am currently reading The Marriage of Elinor. In my opinion it is one of Mrs. Oliphant's finest novels. I heartily recommend it. It is available as a ebook from Project Gutenberg. Her stories of the Seen and the Unseen are very good ghost stories. Of these, Old Lady Mary is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn- Thanks for the suggestions. I love ghost stories! I'll be sure to look these up.
ReplyDeleteBoth Phoebe Junior and Miss Marjoribanks are in print (Nonesuch and Penguin Classics respectively) and both are very good. The Sorceress, the Ladies Lindores and the Cuckoo in the Nest are very much worth hunting down- but are difficult to find.
ReplyDeletewww.mobileread.com has some Oliphant novels for free download. Some are formatted for ebook devices (e.g. Kindles); but some are in HTML format - Miss Marjoribanks, He That Will Not When He May, Madonna Mary, Hester.
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon Miss Marjoribanks a year ago and fell in love with Mrs. Oliphant! I highly recommend the entire Carlingford series- I've read all except the last, Phoebe Junior. Some plod along at first-feel bogged down and bored then suddenly everything comes together and keeps picking up speed. Especially good was The Doctor's Family.
