When Harry Ormond—an orphan—is involved in a near-fatal shooting, he is sent away to live with his wealthy yet neglectful guardian’s kind cousin. Owning neither property nor a fortune, he’s determined to succeed. One of Edgeworth’s most famous novels, Ormond examines issues of moral development as it also looks at Ireland’s political future.
