Summary "No Name" by Wilkie Collins is a novel written during the mid-19th century. The story centers around the Vanstone family, particularly focusing on the dynamic between the two daughters, Norah and Magdalen. It explores themes of identity, societal norms, and the struggle between good and evil as the characters navigate personal conflicts and family secrets. At the start of "No Name," readers are introduced to the Vanstone family, living in their country residence in Somersetshire. The opening scene depicts the serene morning routine of the household, highlighting the easy-going nature of Mr. Vanstone and the contrasting dynamics of Miss Garth, the governess, who holds a more authoritative stance. The stage is set for the arrival of Magdalen, the youngest daughter, whose vibrant personality stands in stark contrast to her reserved sister Norah. Through a mix of humor and domestic life, Collins hints at underlying tensions within the family, particularly foreshadowing the significant changes that are about to unfold following a mysterious letter from New Orleans which casts a shadow over the family's seemingly tranquil existence.
