| Summary |
"Amethyst: The Story of a Beauty" by Christabel R. Coleridge is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Amethyst, a beautiful young woman raised by her aunt, Miss Annabel Haredale, who has dedicated herself to providing the best education and upbringing for her niece. However, Miss Haredale faces a financial crisis that forces her to reconsider Amethyst’s future, including options for introducing her to society. The opening of the novel introduces us to an important meeting between Annabel Haredale and her brother, Lord Haredale, as they discuss the implications of her recent financial downfall on her niece, Amethyst, who is nearing the age of debutante. Despite Annabel's desire to give Amethyst a proper introduction to society, she is aware that the financial means to support her transition into an established life are no longer available. The narrative unfolds as Annabel resolves to navigate these challenging circumstances, which ultimately leads to her decision to grant Amethyst back to her mother’s household, setting the stage for the challenges and experiences Amethyst will encounter in her new life.
