Summary "Within the Maze: A Novel, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Mrs. Henry Wood is a historical fiction novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the Andinnian family, particularly focusing on the relationship dynamics between the widow Mrs. Andinnian and her two sons, Adam and Karl, especially as they intersect with the lives of their neighbors and the complexities of family legacies and social expectations. The book hints at themes of love, duty, and societal hierarchy, setting the stage for a mix of romantic entanglements and family drama. The beginning of the novel introduces readers to the Andinnian household, describing the aftermath of Captain Andinnian's death and the inheritance issues facing his widow and sons. Mrs. Andinnian’s strong, if somewhat possessive, love for her elder son Adam is contrasted with her indifference toward the younger son, Karl, who serves in the military. The family’s complicated relationship with their wealthy, estranged uncle, Sir Joseph, is also established, alongside insight into the dynamics with their neighbor, Miss Rose Turner. As tensions simmer regarding Adam's potential companionship with Rose and his lack of ambition, the groundwork is laid for impending conflict; the stage is set for romance, jealousy, and the challenges of family legacy.
