Summary "Henrietta's Wish; Or, Domineering" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a novel written during the mid-19th century. The story centers on Henrietta Langford, a sixteen-year-old girl, and her twin brother Frederick as they navigate their lives and familial relationships in the coastal town of Rocksand. The opening chapters introduce themes of longing for home, the struggles of a mother with past grief, and the children's desire to bring happiness back into their mother's life by moving to Knight Sutton, her childhood home. The beginning of the novel depicts a warm summer day as Henrietta eagerly awaits the arrival of her brother at the railway station. The siblings have a close bond and share their hopes about their family's future, particularly concerning their mother, who has been unable to fully move past her husband's death. They discuss their academic achievements, family dynamics, and the potential move to Knight Sutton, a place filled with memories and emotional significance for their mother. As the story unfolds, Henrietta's strong-willed nature is highlighted, particularly her determination to persuade her mother to find happiness again by returning to her roots. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of family ties and the impact of past traumas on present lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
