Coles A House Divided Against Itself: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
In Mrs. Oliphant's A House Divided Against Itself, private feeling becomes public strain as a family is pulled apart by silence, pride, and competing loyalties. Frances Waring moves through a world of emotional crosscurrents with growing firmness, whether sparring with the shallowly "reasonable" Claude Ramsay, who first courts Constance and then tests Frances as a possible substitute, or facing the sharper realities of home and inheritance. Her wit exposes vanity and self-interest, while Claude's casual talk of marriage and family rearrangements unsettles Lady Markham, whose carefully managed life is threatened by the possibility of change. Elsewhere, Constance's sparkling flirtation with Captain Gaunt on a drive to San Remo creates a lighter surface that only deepens Waring's irritation and sense of exclusion. Yet the novel's most painful moments come in the family confrontations, especially Frances's visit to austere Portland Place, where Mrs. Clarendon's buried love and resentment break into the open. Across these scenes, Oliphant traces the cost of divided households, withheld truths, and the longing to belong. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
