The Heart of Mid-Lothian

Follow the arduous journey of a peasant woman whose unshakeable moral rectitude drives her to walk from Edinburgh to London to save her sister's life. Set against the backdrop of the Porteous Riots, this novel is a profound study of justice, mercy, and the clash between personal conscience and public law. The heroine, Jeanie Deans, stands as one of the most memorable characters in literature, defined not by noble birth but by her absolute commitment to truth. It is a rich, atmospheric tale that delves deep into the social and religious fabric of 18th-century Scotland.
