Summary

In 'Was I Right?', O. F. Mrs. Walton crafts a profound exploration of moral dilemmas and self-reflection through the lens of Victorian sensibilities. The narrative intricately weaves a tapestry of social anxieties, emphasizing the consequences of personal choices amidst societal expectations. Walton's elegant prose and deep character studies evoke a sense of empathy, compelling readers to scrutinize the rigidity of moral codes in her time, while simultaneously inviting contemplation about their own moral compass. The book's structure, which oscillates between introspection and external conflict, enriches its literary context within the social reform movements of the era, marking it as both a reflective and cautionary tale. O. F. Mrs. Walton, also known for her contributions to the moral literature of the 19th century, draws upon her own experiences amidst the evolution of gender norms and societal pressures. Her background as a pioneer in women's writing not only inspired her themes of duty and self-examination but also reinforced the significance of women's voices during a period of transformation. Walton's insightful observations of human nature and ethics resonate throughout her oeuvre, positioning her as a significant figure among her contemporaries. Readers seeking a thought-provoking narrative will find 'Was I Right?' an essential addition to their collection. Walton's deft handling of complex issues related to morality and identity invites readers to engage with the text on multiple levels, making it a poignant and timeless exploration of what it means to navigate the murky waters of ethical decision-making.

    INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS:
In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy.
Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East. 
 
Elizabeth Ogilvie sailed on the maiden voyage of the S.S Viking with rather mixed feelings. It was not that her job, as assistant purser, was likely to set her any problems; nor was she worried at having to keep secret the fact that she was virtually related to the Chairman of the shipping line, who was also on board — travelling incognito, for reasons of his own. What had been so upsetting for Elizabeth was to discover, at the last moment, that the Captain of the ship was to be Hugh Anson, with whom she had once been in love. But although Elizabeth did not know it, there were others on board with even bigger reasons for treating the Captain with hostility. Altogether it looked like being anything but a peaceful voyage!
