Description
‘Ovington’s Bank’ is a forgotten masterpiece from master story-teller Stanley Weyman (1855-1928) who was once the Charles Dickens of his day – yet by the late 20th century, all of his books were out of print. Written at the height of Weyman’s powers, this is considered the finest of his 24 novels. Although set in 1825, the novel’s themes are as relevant today as then. The tale follows a run on a private bank: in the fall-out the protagonists are challenged to examine their motives, their morals and their values as the surprising plot unfolds.
