Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"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.
