Name: White Heather: A Novel (Volume 2 of 3)
Author: William Black

The second volume continues the Highland romance, following a circle of characters whose attachments and ambitions are tested against landscape and custom. Miss Carry faces departure for Paris while wrestling with lingering affection for Ronald and with family counsels; Ronald's quiet attentions and local duties complicate farewell scenes. Intertwined chapters record discoveries, confessions, lessons in fishing and society, and escalating entanglements that move the parties from loch-side intimacy to social evenings, journeys south, and moral hesitations. Recurring themes include the pull between modern enterprise and rustic tradition, the persuasive power of place, and the slow unraveling of personal choices amid communal expectation.
