Summary "Cousin Mary" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds around Mary Burnet, a young woman living in a family of modest means, the Prescotts, as they navigate themes of love, class, and societal expectations. The arrival of the new curate, Mr. Asquith, introduces a shift that engages Mary and hints at a deeper narrative concerning their intertwined lives. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Prescott family, who have descended from a once-prominent lineage into the ordinary ranks of society. Within this household, Mary is portrayed as an overlooked but cheerful young woman who performs various little tasks to support her relatives. When Mr. Asquith arrives, he quickly becomes the subject of curiosity for Mary, who begins to see him as more than just another resident of her quiet parish. Their burgeoning connection is marked by a contrast between her innocence and his internal struggles over poverty versus aspirations for a future together—hinting at the complexities their relationship will face as they grapple with societal norms and their own feelings.
