White Heather: A Novel (Volume 3 of 3)

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

A young Highland woman, gentle and reserved, sends a small sprig of white heather to a once-familiar man who has fallen into aimless company and private suffering. He receives the token with guarded hope while oscillating between urban amusements and recollections of the moor. Tormented by longing and pity, she resolves to leave her remote life and go to the city to seek him out and intervene. The narrative alternates scenic rural description, social gatherings, and intimate inward struggle over affection, duty, reputation, and the chance of moral renewal.
