Weir of Hermiston: An Unfinished Romance by Robert Louis Stevenson
"Weir of Hermiston: An Unfinished Romance" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a novel written in 1896. Set during the Napoleonic Wars, it tells the story of Archie Weir, a sensitive young man estranged from his cruel father, a criminal court judge. Banished to the family estate near Hermiston, Archie falls in love with a young woman named Kirstie. The novel breaks off abruptly due to Stevenson's sudden death, leaving readers with a
tantalizing fragment of what many consider his most mature work. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
