Oswald Cray - A Novel (Paperback)

Oswald Cray is so often praised for his strong values and nobility, that it is easy for him to forget that he still has flaws. After a nosy servant, who meddles in others' belongings, finds a letter he deems to be suspicious, he presents false charges against Dr. Davenal, a kind and patient man who previously held a sterling reputation. Unaware that it was all a misunderstanding, Cray places too much trust in his own suspicions and breaks off his engagement with the doctor's daughter. As chaos ensues as broken hearts, criminal activity and ruined reputations continue to feed the drama, escalating an issue that could have been easily avoided. Written by an internationally bestselling author, Mrs. Henry Wood, Oswald Cray: A Novel is rarely found in print. Though lesser known than her other novels, Oswald Cray: A Novel deserves recognition for its elegant prose and amusing tone.
