Olive
by Dinah Maria Craik (1826-1887)
Inspired by Jane Eyre, Dinah Maria
Craik's 1850 novel was one of the first
to feature a disabled central character.
‘Slightly deformed’ from birth, Olive
believes that she will never be able to
marry like other women, so she
devotes her life to her art, her mother
and -- above all -- her religion. It takes a dark secret from the past
and a new, fascinating acquaintance, to make her realize what her life
could be.
