Edina: A Novel

Edina, a historical fiction novel by Mrs. Henry Wood, was first published in 1876. Set in the small Cornish village of Trennach, it follows the lives of the Raynor family and Rosaline Bell, exploring themes of love, superstition, and social dynamics within a mining community. The narrative delves into local superstitions, particularly the ominous 'Seven Whistlers,' as Rosaline navigates her feelings for Frank Raynor amidst family tensions and community drama. This work reflects the complexities of 19th-century English life and its cultural significance.
