| Summary | "Hildegarde's Home" by Laura Elizabeth Howe Richards is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Hildegarde Grahame, a young girl who, along with her mother, moves to an old family home in the countryside after the death of her father. This change marks a new chapter in their lives, where they must adapt to a different lifestyle away from their past wealth and embrace the charm of their new rural setting. The opening of the novel introduces Hildegarde as she arrives at her new home, described as a large old-fashioned house with a wide verandah and an air of eccentricity. As she explores the home, she discovers a variety of quaint and delightful items that belonged to her relatives, evoking her curiosity and imagination. With her mother’s arrival imminent, Hildegarde takes pleasure in arranging their new living space, hinting at her enthusiasm for decorating and making a home. The first chapter sets up their transition from city life to a simpler existence, combining elements of nostalgia, exploration, and familial bonds that promise an engaging read as the story unfolds.
