| Summary |
"Niece Catherine" by Mary Hampden is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around Catherine Carmichael, a young woman who, upon moving to England, navigates her relationships with her uncles, particularly the estranged ones, while trying to forge her own path as a companion to the kind Mrs. Arderne and seeking to support her fiancé, Brian North. Themes of familial love, personal growth, and spiritual introspection are likely woven throughout. At the start of the story, Catherine is introduced as a warm-hearted and lively young woman who assists Mrs. Arderne in caring for her children. After recalling fond memories of her uncles from Australia, Catherine expresses her intent to visit them, particularly Uncle Ross, who has fallen out with Uncle Jack over a family dispute regarding their adopted nephew, Loring. Through her interactions, we see Catherine's gratitude for her current circumstances while she grapples with the reality of her financial situation and the hope of reconnecting her uncles, highlighting her earnest character and the moral dilemmas she faces as she desires to serve both her family and faith.
