Summary "A Forgotten Hero; Or, Not for Him" by Emily Sarah Holt is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the end of the thirteenth century, the narrative unfolds a domestic scene centered around young Clarice La Theyn, an only child who is about to serve a Countess, as well as the societal norms and expectations of noble families during that time. The tale likely delves into themes of duty, love, and the intricate roles women played in medieval society. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Clarice La Theyn and her mother, Dame La Theyn, who are preparing for Clarice's new role in the household of the Countess of Cornwall. Clarice is portrayed as a shy yet intelligent girl, reflecting a keen curiosity about her future mistress, Lady Margaret. Their conversation reveals the domestic life and expectations of noble women, such as the peculiar practice of sending young girls away for their education. The first chapter sets the stage with Clarice's departure alongside her father to Oakham Castle, hinting at the shifts in her life as she navigates this new environment filled with intrigue, societal expectations, and the looming presence of the aforementioned Countess.
