About this book

Determined to save her sister Effie's life, Jeanie Deans plans to travel to London and appeal to the king and queen. Reuben Butler warns her that royal authority is difficult to reach, with ministers and powerful patrons standing between the court and an ordinary visitor. Jeanie meets these objections with plain reasoning and religious confidence. Her conversation with Butler gives the story a clear personal urgency, bringing a family's distress up against the workings of government.

Walter Scott's historical novel places sisters, prisoners and the possibility of a pardon within eighteenth-century Scotland. Its subjects include the Porteous Riots of 1736, while the excerpts show how public questions of justice enter private lives. Scots dialogue shapes Jeanie's persistence, and her confusion over the meaning of royal ministers adds humor to a serious appeal. The book offers readers interested in legal fiction a story where access to power matters as much as the strength of a plea.
