| Summary | "The Sorceress; v. 1 of 3" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the Kingsward family, particularly focusing on the lives and romantic entanglements of the young women, Bee and her sister Betty. Set against a backdrop of family dynamics and societal expectations, the narrative promises themes of love, heartache, and the complexities of personal relationships. The beginning of the book introduces the Kingsward family, who are gathered during a significant summer holiday. Mrs. Kingsward, despite being temporarily unwell, enthusiastically participates in family adventures with her children, including the blossoming romance between Bee and Mr. Aubrey Leigh, a melancholy widower traveling for his health. However, as their engagement blooms, shadows loom over their happiness following a mysterious letter that causes turmoil within the family. Tension arises as misunderstandings and societal pressures challenge the authenticity and future of Bee's romantic aspirations, setting the stage for conflict and emotional upheaval.
