This Victorian masterpiece of comic irony and unsentimental warmth has a force of nature at its core: headstrong Lucilla Marjoribanks. Mrs Oliphant’s unconventional and endearing heroine is ‘a woman with a mission’: she is determined to take charge of her widowed father and shape the social life of the community. With insight, tact and intelligence, she organises events, manages relationships, and guides the fates of those around her, all while remaining firmly in control of her own life.

As the ‘missing link’ between Jane Austen and George Eliot, Margaret Oliphant deserves her growing readership. Part of her Chronicles of Carlingford series, this novel of great intelligence, quiet subversion and delightful wit was one of her finest creations. Narrated by Lucy Scott, it is sure to prove a wonderful discovery to many.

It’s a long read but her ironic style, dissecting her heroine’s character, was well worth it.

Recommended to me as an alternative to the beloved Mapp and Lucia stories. Not as funny but beautifully written and a good light read. Great insights into the psyche of an unusual Victorian young lady finding her place in life and society.

This novel is very bland but it is clean and inoffensive. Lucy Scott is a very good narrator. She reads with intelligence – she understands what she reads and puts the pauses in the right place. The sound quality is excellent – lovely and loud.
