The sorceress: A novel Vol. II is a novel that delves into the intricacies of love, family dynamics, and societal pressures. At the heart of the story is a young woman, full of life and anticipation, as she navigates her engagement to a man who seems perfect at first. The narrative explores the evolving emotions within the family, especially as the engagement begins to strain under the weight of mystery and tension. The family s happiness is gradually overshadowed by the arrival of unsettling letters, which bring doubts and questions about the true nature of the engagement. As the characters grapple with these new revelations, the novel delves into themes of loyalty, trust, and the delicate balance between personal desires and familial obligations. The setting, with its blend of romance and uncertainty, allows for an exploration of how societal norms influence individual choices, particularly in matters of the heart.

Autorenporträt
Margaret Oliphant was a Scottish author and historical writer who usually wrote under the name Mrs. Oliphant. She was born Margaret Oliphant Wilson on April 4, 1828, and died on June 20, 1897. She writes "domestic realism, the historical novel, and tales of the supernatural" as her short stories. Margaret Oliphant was born in Wallyford, near Musselburgh, East Lothian. She was the only daughter and youngest child still living of Margaret Oliphant (c. 1789 17 September 1854) and Francis W. Wilson, a clerk. We lived in Lasswade, Glasgow, and Liverpool when she was a child. In Wallyford, a street called Oliphant Gardens is named after her. As a girl, she was always trying new things with writing. Passages in the Life of Mrs. Margaret Maitland, her first book, came out in 1849. This was about the mostly successful Scottish Free Church movement, which was something her folks agreed with. Next came Caleb Field in 1851, the same year she met publisher William Blackwood in Edinburgh and was asked to write for Blackwood's Magazine. She did so for the rest of her life and wrote over 100 articles, including one that criticized Arthur Dimmesdale in Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter".
