| Summary | "A House Divided Against Itself (Complete)" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Mr. Waring and his young daughter Frances, who live a secluded life in Bordighera, Italy. The narrative explores themes of isolation, familial relations, and the complexities of the past, particularly as they face unexpected encounters that threaten their carefully maintained existence. The opening portion introduces the setting and main characters, starting with a scene where Mr. Waring and Frances navigate through the sun-drenched streets towards their home. The pair is approached by an English family, which provokes Mr. Waring's annoyance and hints at a past connection that leaves Frances in a state of confusion. As they settle back at home, Frances reflects on her father's mysterious past, driven by a longing to understand their family history. The narrative establishes a sense of tension surrounding Mr. Waring's reluctance to engage with those from his past, setting the stage for Frances's journey of discovery regarding her lineage and identity amidst the complexities of her father's guarded life.
