Publisher's Synopsis
In ""The Schillingscourt"" by Eugenie Marlitt, the reader is transported to the world of 19th century Germany. The novel follows the story of two young women, the orphaned sisters Ottilie and Adelheid von Schilling, who are forced to leave their childhood home and move to a distant relative's estate, the Schillingscourt. The girls are met with a cold reception from their new family, who are more interested in the estate's finances than the well-being of the sisters.As they navigate their new surroundings, the sisters encounter a cast of characters, including the handsome and kind-hearted Count Eberhard, who takes an interest in Ottilie, and the mysterious and brooding Baron von Arnsberg, who seems to have a dark past. As the sisters uncover secrets about their family and the estate, they must also navigate their own romantic entanglements and the challenges of being young women in a society that doesn't always value their independence.With its lush descriptions of the German countryside and its engaging characters, ""The Schillingscourt"" is a captivating tale of love, family, and the power of perseverance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
