The Warwycks is a family saga set in the fictional English seaside town of Easthampton, spanning roughly fifty years from the 1820s to the 1870s. Written by Barbara Ovstedal under her pen name Rosalind Laker, the trilogy tracks three generations of the Warwyck family as England itself changes around them during the Victorian era.

Warwyck’s Wife (1974) opens the saga with the founding generation and their arrival in Easthampton. Claudine’s Daughter (1978) shifts the focus to the next generation, centering on a young woman whose uncertain origins tie back to the family’s past. The Warwycks of Easthampton (1980) brings the story to its conclusion as the family confronts the consequences of decisions made decades earlier. The trilogy is best read as a single long narrative rather than three separate novels, since character arcs and family secrets build across all three volumes.
