About the book

"Orley Farm" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written between 1860-1861. Twenty years after Lady Mason successfully defended her inheritance of Orley Farm for her young son, new evidence surfaces that threatens to expose a devastating secret. A vengeful stepson and a vindictive tenant lawyer resurrect the controversy surrounding a disputed codicil to her late husband's will. As Lady Mason faces a second trial for perjury, she must lean on loyal neighbors who believe in her innocence—while the truth remains dangerously concealed.
