Vaila by M.P. Shiel is a novel set in the late 19th century, following the story of a young woman named Vaila. Vaila is a mysterious and enigmatic character, who is haunted by a dark and troubled past. She is forced to confront her past when she returns to her childhood home on the remote Scottish island of Vaila. The island is shrouded in mystery and legend, and Vaila soon finds herself caught up in a web of intrigue and danger. As she delves deeper into the secrets of the island, she discovers a dark and sinister plot that threatens to destroy everything she holds dear. With the help of a group of unlikely allies, Vaila sets out to uncover the truth and save her home from destruction. The novel is a thrilling and suspenseful tale of mystery, adventure, and romance, set against the backdrop of the rugged and beautiful Scottish landscape.I asked with what motives, and in what particulars, the malice of his mother and aunt manifested itself.
