About This Book

A parish clergyman's household is observed as grief and indolence reshape family life: after the mother dies the father withdraws, children are left to manage on their own, and the youngest daughter, Emma, is fostered by a wealthy uncle. When the aunt who controls his estate remarries and assumes power over the inheritance, the nieces face disappointment and altered prospects. The narrative follows Emma's return, the varying reactions of her sisters, and social scenes such as assemblies, while exploring domestic tensions, family loyalty, and the emotional effects of changed circumstances.
