Summary | "Into the Highways and Hedges" by F. F. Montrésor is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative introduces Margaret Deane, the youngest of three heiresses, detailing her struggles growing up under the stern supervision of her Aunt Russelthorpe in a world of privilege, yet surrounded by contradictions. The themes explored include the conflict between social expectations and personal desire, as well as the impact of poverty on different classes. The opening of the novel establishes a vivid portrayal of Margaret's childhood, marked by deep familial connections and early traumas. After a distressing encounter with a thief who took her mother's locket, Margaret’s life takes a turn toward personal growth and reflection. The narrative introduces important characters, including her father, who embodies romantic ideals, and Aunt Russelthorpe, who represents societal constraints. As Margaret navigates her relationships and seeks her identity, the attention turns to her encounter with Barnabas Thorpe, a preacher whose fervor challenges her understanding of faith and duty, setting the stage for her internal journey throughout the novel.
