| Summary | "Effie Ogilvie: The Story of a Young Life; Vol. 1" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows the life of Effie, a young girl navigating the complexities of family and societal relationships following her father's remarriage. As Effie grapples with the presence of her new stepmother and the absence of her late mother, the narrative delves into her emotional turmoil, ambitions, and the social dynamics of her rural Scottish community. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Effie Ogilvie and her family, which includes her father, Mr. Ogilvie, his second wife, Mrs. Ogilvie, and Effie's brother, Eric, who's away serving in the army. The opening chapters depict the family's struggles after Mr. Ogilvie's remarriage and Effie's resentment towards her new stepmother, who tries to integrate into their lives. Effie and Eric, mourning the loss of their mother, contemplate their futures amidst changing family dynamics, while Uncle John, their mother's brother, plays a supportive role. The arrival of the new Dirom family, affluent newcomers to the neighborhood, hints at potential social upheaval and new adventures for Effie, who is on the brink of womanhood. This setup introduces readers to the challenges and transformations facing the characters as they seek love, identity, and belonging in their community.
