Publisher's Synopsis
St. Ronan's Well is a novel written by Sir Walter Scott in 1824. The book is set in the fictional Scottish town of St. Ronan's, where the wealthy and aristocratic come to take the waters at the local spa. The story centers around the character of Frank Tyrrel, a young man who has lost his fortune and is seeking to win it back through gambling. He becomes entangled in a love triangle with two women: Clara Mowbray, a wealthy heiress who is engaged to a dull and unexciting man, and Miss Rachel Geddes, a beautiful and mysterious woman who has recently arrived in St. Ronan's. The novel explores themes of love, class, and society, and features Scott's trademark vivid descriptions of the Scottish landscape and its people. St. Ronan's Well is considered one of Scott's lesser-known works, but is still highly regarded for its engaging characters and vivid storytelling.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
