Classic Serial: Phoebe Junior: 1: The Young Lady in Black

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A four-part dramatisation of Margaret Oliphant 's sequel to miss Marjoribanks. Mrs Oliphant wrote the last chapter of her Carlingford Chronicles when Lucilla Marjoribanks married Tom. Now in 1875, she revisits the town and turns her attention to the family of Phoebe Beecham and the amusing jealousies and rivalries which exist between the Church and the Dissenters, and society and its shopkeepers.
