The Bondman

Originally published in serial form in several British newspapers, the sweeping epic The Bondman represents the full flowering of author Hall Caine's literary skill. Set in Iceland and the Isle of Man in the early eighteenth century, the novel follows a pair of half-brothers who are torn apart by the misdeeds of their father. Ultimately, the rift deepens when the two fall in love with the same woman. Can the damage done ever be repaired?
