Given to Rachel Verinder on her eighteenth birthday by her corrupt British army officer father, the gift sets the scene for a complex plot of turmoil, misunderstanding, cultural heritage and mystery. Serialised in Charles DickensâÇÖ magazine, âÇÖAll the Year RoundâÇÖ, this early works is a fascinating novel of the period and still an interesting read today. Read & Co.
