Indigo Mrs. Oliphant's The Curate in Charge: Updated Edition | Erin Mills Town Centre
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Indigo
When their elderly father suddenly dies, leaving them penniless, sisters Cicely and Mab St. John face an impossible choice. Should they pursue their dreams and artistic ambitions, or sacrifice everything to care for their young half-brothers? In this compelling Victorian novel of family duty, social class, and women's roles, Margaret Oliphant masterfully explores the limited options available to educated women in 19th century England.
Originally published in 1876, The Curate in Charge follows the St. John sisters as they navigate grief, reduced circumstances, and the harsh realities of making their way in a world that offers few opportunities for genteel women. When Cicely makes the radical decision to become a village schoolmistress rather than a governess, she challenges the social conventions of her time - but at what cost to her future happiness?
This new edition brings Oliphant's forgotten gem to modern readers. With its careful examination of class, gender roles, and moral duty, The Curate in Charge raises questions that still resonate today. Perfect for book clubs and fans of Victorian literature, this novel showcases Oliphant's keen social observations and complex female characters. Readers who enjoy Elizabeth Gaskell, Anthony Trollope, and George Eliot will find much to appreciate in this rediscovered classic.

• Compelling story of sisterly devotion and personal sacrifice
