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.
