The life of Margaret Oliphant Wilson is marked by both literary achievement and profound personal tragedy. After publishing her first novel in 1849, she established a successful writing career while facing the loss of three children and the death of her husband from tuberculosis. Despite these hardships, she continued to write prolifically to support her remaining family. Over three decades, she experienced further losses, including the deaths of her two surviving sons. Ultimately, her declining health led to her passing in 1897, leaving a legacy of resilience amidst sorrow.
