Sobre IBD

This novel explores the dynamics of inheritance, family, and social class in Victorian England. The story focuses on two cousins-one an heir presumptive, the other an heir apparent-navigating the complexities of wealth, status, and familial obligations. With her characteristic insight into human nature, Oliphant delves into the emotional and moral struggles of her characters, portraying the tension between duty and desire in the rigid structures of 19th-century society.
