Synopsis

Return to a world of memory, love, and hard truths as a woman returns to her family home.

In this novel, a young woman revisits the place where past loyalties, secrets, and desires reshape the people she thought she knew. The return is intimate and unsettled, revealing how a single decision can ripple through a family’s quiet daily life. The atmosphere blends domestic detail with a slowly widening sense of a larger destiny at stake for each member of the household.

Set against a coastal home and a close-knit clan, the story follows the tension between duty and longing, as old wounds meet new revelations. The book traces love, loss, and resilience through inescapable, vivid moments that linger long after the last page is turned.

• Meet a cast of vividly drawn family members navigating memory, status, and identity.


• Experience the pull of place—the sea, the home, and the rooms that hold buried feelings.


• Follow evolving relationships that test loyalty, forgiveness, and personal growth.


• Engage with a narrative that moves from quiet domestic scenes to profound emotional turns.

Ideal for readers who enjoy richly drawn family sagas that blend nostalgia with a keen eye for inner life.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Morgesons: A Novel

I suppose it was environment that caused me to write these novels; but the mystery of it is, that when I left my native village I did not dream that imagination would lead me there again, for the simple annals of our village and domestic ways did not interest me; neither was I in the least studious. My years were passed in an attempt to have a good time, according to the desires and fancies of youth. Of literature and the literary life, I and my tribe knew nothing; we had not discovered "sermons in stones." Where then was the panorama of my stories and novels stored, that was unrolled in my new sphere? Of course, being moderately intelligent I read everything that came in my way, but merely for amusement. It had been laid up against me as a persistent fault, which was not profitable; I should peruse moral, and pious works, or take up sewing, - that interminable thing, "white seam," which filled the leisure moments of the right-minded. To the personnel of writers I gave little heed; it was the hero they created that charmed me, like Miss Porter's gallant Pole, Sobieski, or the ardent Ernest Maltravers, of Bulwer.
