In the Morland Dynasty series, the majestic sweep of English history is richly and movingly portrayed through the fictional lives of the Morland family. It is 1857, and at Morland Place, Benedict’s peaceful life is overset when a mysterious orphan arrives. No one can understand why he takes this waif into the household, but the strain his arrival forces Benedict to take the boy to America, to join his much-missed daughter Mary. There Benedict becomes enamored of the Southern way of life, just as bitter civil war is about to destroy it forever.

Fantastic series but...,

This review is from: The Outcast (Morland Dynasty) (Paperback)
I highly recommend this series, especially to lovers of English history or those who like family sagas. I was completely hooked after the first book and have been steadily making my way through the series. But this one was a bit disappointing. Too much time is spent in South Carolina during the Civil War for a book that is supposed to be covering English history as experienced by one family through the years. It would have been more in keeping with the theme if this book had covered how Civil War induced cotton shortages affected the cotton mills and workers in Manchester. But don't let this keep you from reading the series.
