Summary

In 'Lady Car: The Sequel of a Life' by Mrs. Oliphant, the reader is taken on a journey through the complex inner world of Lady Caroline, a once vibrant woman who now finds herself grappling with loss and regret. Mrs. Oliphant's writing style is characterized by its introspective and emotive prose, which delves deep into the thoughts and emotions of her characters. Set in the 19th century, the novel explores themes of family, societal expectations, and the passage of time. The narrative is rich in detail and provides a vivid portrayal of the social norms and conventions of the era. Mrs. Oliphant, a prolific Scottish writer of the Victorian era, was known for her keen insights into human nature and her ability to craft compelling narratives. It is likely that her own experiences and observations of society inspired her to write a novel that delves into the complexities of human relationships and emotions. I highly recommend 'Lady Car: The Sequel of a Life' to readers who enjoy character-driven novels set in historical contexts. Mrs. Oliphant's poignant exploration of the human condition is sure to resonate with those who appreciate nuanced storytelling and richly drawn characters.

    London, England, 1860 
    When Clara's ex-fiancé begins to spread rumors that her family suffers from hereditary insanity, it's all she can do to protect them from his desperate schemes, society's prejudice, and a lifetime in an asylum. Then Clara's Grandfather Drosselmeyer brings on an apprentice with a mechanical leg, and all pretense of normalcy takes wing. 
     
    Theodore Kingsley, a shame-chased vagabond haunted by the war, wants a fresh start far from Kingsley Court and the disappointed father who declared him dead. Upon returning to England, Theodore meets clockmaker Drosselmeyer, who hires him as an apprentice, much to Clara's dismay. When Drosselmeyer spontaneously disappears in his secret flying owl machine, he leaves behind a note for Clara, beseeching her to make her dreams of adventure a reality by joining him on a merry scavenger hunt across Europe. Together, Clara and Theodore set off to follow Drosselmeyer's trail of clues, but they will have to stay one step ahead of a villain who wants the flying machine for himself--at any cost.
