A Beleaguered City is an extraordinary yet short novel about the dead that was written over one hundred years ago. Mrs Oliphant's tales were remarkable explorations of the supernatural at a time when the gothic and ghastly were more popular than realism.
Margaret Oliphant (1828-1897) is best known as the author of nearly one hundred novels including Hester, but also wrote short stories and biographies.
