Summary "The Unjust Steward; or, The Minister's Debt" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the Reverend George Buchanan and his family in the city of St. Rule, navigating financial difficulties and moral dilemmas that intertwine their lives. The narrative explores themes of debt, obligation, and the impact of wealth on relationships, with a focus on the intertwined fates of the Buchanan family and those in their community. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Elsie and Roderick Buchanan, the younger children of Reverend Buchanan, who overhear a troubling conversation between their parents regarding the potential death of Mr. Anderson, a benefactor who lent them money. The children become apprehensive as they learn about the parents' debt, and they are left in a state of unease about their family’s financial situation. Further exploration of the family’s dynamics reveals a deep sense of responsibility and care, showcasing Mr. Buchanan's character as he grapples with the obligations imposed by his financial shortcomings. As the plot progresses, the reader can sense the moral and emotional tensions that arise from their circumstances, setting the stage for conflicts that challenge the characters' principles and relationships.
