Description
This beautifully bound hardcover edition combines two classic novellas by acclaimed author Mary J. Holmes. ‘Dora Deane; or, The East India Uncle’ follows the life of a young woman navigating family relationships and unexpected connections with a mysterious relative from the East Indies. Meanwhile, ‘Maggie Miller; or, Old Hagar’s Secret’ weaves a tale of intrigue and revelation as a hidden secret from the past threatens to upend the lives of present-day characters.
Both stories exemplify Holmes’ signature storytelling style, featuring richly developed characters, emotional depth, and Victorian-era sensibilities. The narratives explore themes of identity, family bonds, redemption, and the consequences of long-held secrets. Originally serialized in popular periodicals of the 19th century, these tales captivated readers with their blend of domestic drama and mystery. This hardcover collection preserves these beloved classics for modern readers seeking authentic Victorian literature and compelling period fiction.
