Summary "The Monctons: A Novel. Volume 1 (of 2)" by Susanna Moodie is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative follows the life of Geoffrey Moncton, an orphan and the son of a brother to a wealthy Yorkshire Baronet, as he grapples with issues of identity, dependence, and familial relationships amidst a backdrop of societal expectations and personal struggle. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Geoffrey's family history, revealing the contrasting dynamics between his father Edward, who succumbed to a life of financial irresponsibility, and his uncle Robert Moncton, a cold and wealthy lawyer. After the death of Geoffrey’s parents, he becomes a ward under his uncle's harsh authority, living in a state of dependence and resentment. Moodie paints a poignant picture of Geoffrey's early experiences with loss and rejection, setting the stage for his journey toward self-assertion and independence against a backdrop of familial tension and societal pressures. As Geoffrey navigates his challenging upbringing, he develops a deep inner strength, driven by a desire to carve out his own destiny despite the odds against him.
