| Summary | "Judge Elbridge" by Opie Percival Read is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of John Elbridge, a retired judge who has taken in the children of a deceased law partner, while navigating the complexities of family dynamics and moral dilemmas. Central to the narrative are Elbridge's son, Howard, and his foster siblings, as well as various other characters whose motivations become intertwined with the judge's past decisions. The opening of the novel introduces us to John Elbridge, a respected judge now reflecting on his life and past choices following his retirement. The narrative paints a picture of old Chicago, detailing his partnership with the orator Bodney and hints at tumultuous relationships within the family unit, particularly the tension surrounding Howard’s aspirations and the influence of a friend named Goyle. As the plot unfolds, we witness Bodney struggling with moral corruption and a conspiracy involving stolen money that comes to a head with profound implications for Howard, leading to deep secrets and strained relationships. The stage is set for a dramatic exploration of loyalty, betrayal, and the quest for redemption amid the complexities of familial love. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
