Wild Eelin by William Black
April 2026
Published originally in the very year of the author’s demise so possibly his last work, and published in various editions and various countries and in two separate volumes, Wild Eelin: Her Escapades, Adventures, and Bitter Sorrows is yet another delightful romance from William Black that immerses the reader in life as it was experienced by 19th-century ladies and gentlemen of the British Isles—specifically Scotland in this case.
The author, as usual, does a good job of painting with words the emotions and interactions among the various characters he introduces... that is the delightful part, especially the picture he draws of the title character. The ending of this one is not quite so delightful.
Anybody who considers themselves to any extent an Anglophile will naturally love William Black as an author.
