| Summary | "Merkland; or, Self Sacrifice" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around Anne Ross, who grapples with her family’s dark past and the arrival of a new character, Alison Aytoun, who is connected to that tragic history. The book explores themes of honor, self-sacrifice, and the emotional turmoil that comes from familial ties and secrets. The opening of "Merkland" introduces us to the troubled dynamics within the Ross family, focusing on Anne, who is tormented by the knowledge of her brother Norman’s past crimes. As secrets unravel, the tension escalates with the impending arrival of Alison Aytoun, the daughter of the man who was killed due to Norman's actions. Through conversations with her stepmother, Mrs. Ross, Anne reveals her anguish and sense of duty while foreshadowing the emotional conflicts that will arise as the story unfolds. The chapter sets the tone for deeper explorations of guilt, familial loyalty, and the impacts of the past on the present as Anne prepares to confront her complicated feelings and relationships amid societal expectations.
