'The sins of the fathers upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.'' Erema ñ My Father's Sin (1877), is a romantic novel by R.D. Blackmore. There is a daughter's quest to clear her father's reputation from the accusation of parricide. Though the chief characters are English and Scottish, the scene is set down in Western America. Plot interest is quite dominant and tragic but the beauty of the surroundings and the humour of the characterization lighten the gloom.
