| Summary | "Bertha's Visit to Her Uncle in England; vol. 1 [of 3]" by Mrs. Marcet is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The story centers around young Bertha, who, after spending her childhood in Rio de Janeiro, embarks on a journey to visit her uncle in England following a tragic family event. The narrative examines themes of cultural contrast and personal growth as Bertha navigates her feelings of sorrow, belonging, and adaptation to her new surroundings. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Bertha as she begins her voyage to England, documenting her thoughts and observations in a journal as instructed by her mother. Despite her initial sorrow from leaving her mother behind, Bertha immerses herself in the experience, marveling at the sights and sounds of the sea, while making new friends aboard the ship. Characters such as the kind-hearted Mrs. P----, who encourages her to occupy her mind, and Captain M. offer Bertha companionship and insights into the marine world, setting the stage for her transition from Brazil to England and touching on her introspective nature as she reconciles her past with her new life.
