A sweeping masterpiece of historical literary fiction, Rogue Herries by Hugh Walpole launches the epic Herries Chronicle-a richly emotional family saga set against the dramatic beauty of England's Lake District.
When Francis Herries uproots his life to settle at the remote estate of Herries in Borrowdale, he gains a new beginning-but also becomes entangled in a legacy of passion, pride, and tragedy. As rumors swirl and loyalties fracture, Francis's fierce spirit and reckless choices set the stage for generational conflict, shaping the destiny of the Herries family for decades to come.
Blending historical literary fiction, psychological drama, and British family saga, Walpole crafts a world alive with vivid landscapes, magnetic characters, and the quiet pressures of social expectation. Love, ambition, superstition, and betrayal collide, revealing the emotional complexity of a family caught between its own myths and the unforgiving realities of the interwar period and early twentieth-century British society.
A cornerstone of classic English literature, Rogue Herries is ideal for readers who love:
- multi-generational family stories
- richly atmospheric regional fiction
- novels rooted in character, place, and emotional consequence
- sweeping narratives in the tradition of Galsworthy, Hardy, and Brontë
For libraries, book clubs, and fans of historical family sagas, this edition reintroduces one of the great achievements of British fiction-an immersive novel that combines storytelling on a grand scale with the intimacy of private heartbreak.
