| Summary | "The Arbiter: A Novel" by Lady Florence Eveleen Eleanore Olliffe Bell is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the lives of the Gore family, particularly focusing on Lady Gore, her husband Sir William, and their daughter Rachel, as they navigate the complexities of family dynamics, love, and societal expectations. The story explores themes of devotion, duty, and the challenges of personal aspirations in a constraining social setting. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Lady Gore and her aunt, Miss Martin, who engage in a lively debate about the implications of a wife showing affection to her husband. This sets the stage for Lady Gore's introspective reflections on her role as a wife and mother, particularly in the context of her debilitating illness. As she considers her relationships and the sacrifices made, a deeper narrative begins to unfold about her daughter Rachel, who finds herself torn between familial obligations and emerging romantic feelings for Francis Rendel, a potential suitor. Their interactions hint at both the warmth of family relations and the societal expectations that complicate personal desires. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
