| Summary | "Mortomley's Estate: A Novel. Vol. 2 (of 3)" by Mrs. J. H. Riddell is a fictional work written in the late 19th century. This novel follows the troubled lives of the Mortomley family, particularly focusing on Mrs. Mortomley, her husband who is facing bankruptcy, and their relatives as they navigate the turmoil surrounding their financial misfortunes. The opening chapters set a tone of anxiety, with interpersonal tensions heightened by the looming threat of financial ruin. At the start of the novel, we witness the struggles at Homewood, where Mrs. Mortomley is managing the disarray caused by her husband's illness and the encroaching bankruptcy. Key characters such as Rupert, who expresses concerns about his family's future, and Mr. Dean, who embodies societal disdain for the impoverished, further complicate matters. As discussions of accountability and societal expectations unfold, Mrs. Mortomley's distress is palpable, particularly when dealing with the impending loss of her family’s home. The emotionally charged atmosphere serves as a backdrop to themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the harsh realities faced by those falling from grace. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
