Em’s husband

Description

About this book

"Em''s husband : A sequel to "Em" by Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth is a novel written in the late 19th century. It follows Em (Emolyn) Palmer and her close-knit family as they become caretakers of the isolated Wilderness Manor, where country splendor, murmurs of hauntings, and a revered blind preacher shape their days. Em’s encounters with a veiled “White Spirit” portrait and the honorable naval officer Ronald Bruce braid mystery with budding romance. Expect domestic warmth, moral shading, and touches of the supernatural set along river, forest, and mountain. The opening of the story traces Em’s first trip with old ’Sias to a river island, where a blind preacher delivers a stirring sermon on Faith, Love, and Works, and where a dazzling white mansion holds a portrait eerily like Em.
