Margaret Oliphant (1828-1897) was a Scottish novelist who wrote as Mrs. Oliphant. She is best known for her fictional works, historical novels and supernatural tales.

There seems to be a local mystery about the window, including a dispute about whether there is even a window there at all.

Terrible performance

The story is great and compelling but the reading is off-putting, with bizarre pronunciation and emphasis that really intrudes on the work.

what a terrible reader!

The reader is just terrible. Unfortunately this reðally spoils an otherwise great story. I cannot understand this choice of reader.
