First published in 1935, Young Renny takes us even further back
in the Whiteoak family saga to 1906. Renny, the young master of Jalna,
is just eighteen. His twenty-year-old sister Meg is engaged to marry the
young man next door, Maurice Vaughan Uncle Nick and Uncle Ernest, now
in their fifties, have squandered their inheritances abroad on high
living and reside again at Jalna. But the plot thickens further, when
two outsiders join the mix: A gypsy woman, who seduces Renny, and a
distant cousin from Ireland, who befriends Gran, moves into Jalna, and
spies on the family. This is book 4 of 16 in The Whiteoak Chronicles. It is followed by Whiteoak Heritage.
