A Sweet Sinner (1897) is a novel by Hume Nisbet. Published at the
height of his career as a leading ghost story writer of the
Victorian era, A Sweet Sinner is a tale of romance and temptation
written in the tradition of the sensation novel. Largely unknown by
today's audience, Hume Nisbet was a versatile writer whose
experiences as an artist and traveler inform his wide-ranging body
of work. "Miss Kate Keath is her name, the only child and heiress
of a wealthy and retired Australian squatter, who for the past
twelve months has taken up his abode in the suburbs of his most
ancient, picturesque, and historical Castletown. Miss Kate was a
native of New South Wales, and till her fifteenth year had passed
all her days in that sunny climate..." After an idyllic youth in
Australia, Miss Kate Keath moves to Scotland to complete her
education. Although she shows little promise as a painter, her
teacher Jamie Glen finds himself drawn to her remarkable beauty and
endeavors to show patience to her always. At her family's castle in
the heather-streaked highlands, their lesson is interrupted by the
sudden arrival of Havelock Gordon, a handsome young man with
mysterious intentions and palpable contempt for Jamie. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Hume Nisbet's A Sweet Sinner is a classic of
Victorian fiction reimagined for modern readers.
