TAKEN BY THE HAND

Taken by the Hand is one of the later novels by O. Douglas (Anna Buchan), sister of John Buchan. Known for her gentle, humane storytelling, Douglas weaves a tale set against the backdrop of wartime Britain, where the comforts of home, faith, and friendship become all the more vital.

Through her characteristic warmth and quiet wisdom, Douglas presents a narrative that celebrates resilience in ordinary life. Blending subtle humor with deep compassion, Taken by the Hand reflects the author’s enduring themes of family, belonging, and the sustaining power of kindness.
