| Summary | "The Quiet Heart" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The book explores the lives of Menie Laurie and her mother, Mrs. Laurie, who navigate personal and social challenges in a Scottish setting. Menie, a young woman full of innocence and joy, is characterized by her quiet yet resilient spirit, while Mrs. Laurie grapples with decisions regarding their future, aiming to secure the best for her daughter amidst their changing circumstances. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Menie Laurie and the household at Burnside, where she interacts with local characters such as Jenny, the housekeeper, and Nelly Panton, a neighboring servant. The narrative paints a vivid picture of their rural life, filled with gentle humor and underlying tensions as Nelly seeks news about her brother, Johnnie, away in London. Menie’s budding romance and the notion of moving to London create a backdrop of anticipation and anxiety, setting the stage for the exploration of relationships, aspirations, and the quiet struggles of the heart in the face of life’s unpredictability.
