Description
In Victorian England, Stephen Verner is entrusted with the care of a grand mansion and estate—Venter’s Pride—whose future rests on the next generation. As Lionel Verner comes into focus, the novel traces the Verner family’s shifting loyalties and private struggles, shaped by inheritance, duty, and the rigid expectations of their social world. With pride at its core, the story examines how morality and character are tested when status, property, and reputation collide. Written in Mrs. Henry Wood’s distinctive, emotionally driven style, this is a compelling study of family dynamics and class, where what is “owed” is never only financial, but deeply personal.
