| Summary | "Lily Pearl and The Mistress of Rosedale" by Ida Glenwood is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book intricately weaves fictional narratives with the backdrop of historical events, particularly focusing on the Civil War, as seen through the experiences of its characters. The main characters introduced include a stately lady and her daughter, Lillian, as well as the child, Phebe, who is intricately linked to the family's past and future. At the start of the novel, the scene is set on a stormy night at "Cliff House," where a heavily adorned woman anxiously awaits the arrival of her daughter, Lillian, who has just given birth. The mother is grappling with complex emotions and the repercussions of her decisions, which lead her to make harsh choices regarding her daughter's future. As the narrative progresses, it hints at themes of maternal love, loss, and identity, particularly through the character of Phebe, who is discovered to have origins tied closely to Lillian. The opening chapters establish a tone filled with tension and foreboding, setting the stage for the ensuing drama surrounding family bonds and the consequences of societal expectations.
