| Summary | "Zoe" by Evelyn Whitaker is a fictional work written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of a young foundling girl named Zoe, who is adopted by a struggling family in a small village. The narrative explores themes of kinship, societal perceptions, and the complexities of parental love as it follows Zoe's life and the relationships she develops within her new family and community. At the start of the novel, the events unfold during Zoe's christening, where it becomes evident that she was found abandoned in a garden by a kind laborer named Gray. The church setting introduces us to various characters, including the clergyman, the organist Mr. Robins, and the villagers, who are curious about the baby and her unusual origins. As the story progresses, we learn more about the Grays, their meager circumstances, and the warmth they offer to Zoe, despite their struggles. The opening chapters set the stage for a deep exploration of life in a rural community and the joys and challenges faced by those who choose to care for a child with mysterious beginnings.
