A review by june_englit_phd
Miss Marjoribanks by Margaret Oliphant

2.0

Normally, I devour books from the 19th century, but I found this one hard-going. The plot was fun, but Oliphant's continual switching between referring to the eponymous heroine as 'Miss Marjoribanks' and 'Lucilla' began to grate on my nerves a little. Perhaps because I read this book during a hot summer spell in COVID lockdown I didn't really gel with it. I will re-visit it in the future and see if I view it differently then.
