The Fugitives is a novel written by Margaret Oliphant, also known as Mrs. Oliphant. The story is set in Scotland and follows the lives of two siblings, Cosmo and Lilias, who have been forced to flee their home due to their family's financial troubles. They are taken in by their wealthy cousin, Lady Brotherton, who provides them with a comfortable life and education. However, their past catches up with them when their father is found guilty of embezzlement and they are forced to leave Lady Brotherton's home and make their own way in the world.The novel explores themes of family, identity, and social class as the siblings struggle to find their place in society. Cosmo, who is determined to make a name for himself, becomes involved in politics and falls in love with Lady Brotherton's daughter, while Lilias finds solace in religion and becomes a governess. As they navigate their new lives, they must confront the consequences of their father's actions and the prejudices of those around them.Overall, The Fugitives is a compelling tale of resilience and redemption, filled with vivid descriptions of Scottish landscapes and complex characters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
