Táto e‑kniha

Norah and Magdalen Vanstone have an idyllic life. With loving parents, a caring governess, and an expansive estate to roam, the girls desire nothing else. But when a tragic accident claims the life of their father, and their mother dies shortly thereafter, Norah and Magdalen are left with no inheritance and, as they come to discover, no name.

As the Vanstone sisters make their way into the world with the assistance of their governess, their paths diverge as Norah pursues an honest career, and Magdalen becomes consumed with reclaiming their inheritance. Originally published as a serial in Charles Dickens's All the Year Round magazine, No Name is both tragedy and comedy, and demonstrates the skill of a writer at the peak of his craft.
