Summary "Mrs. Arthur; vol. 2 of 3" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story primarily revolves around the lives of newlyweds, Arthur and Nancy Curtis, as they navigate the complexities of their marriage and the societal expectations surrounding them. Arthur grapples with the emotional challenges of his family's estrangement, while Nancy struggles to adapt to her new life and the subtleties of social status. At the start of the book, Arthur Curtis reflects on a letter from his family, which he has ignored amid the celebrations of his wedding day. As he deals with the tension between his affection for his wife, Nancy, and the disdain he feels for his family's judgment of her, their first marital quarrel arises—centered around her choice of attire and his mother's disapproval. Through their dialogue, the narrative explores themes of class distinction, personal identity, and the clash between Nancy's unrefined roots and the expectations of Arthur's social circle. As they travel to Paris for their honeymoon, Nancy expresses her discomfort with the new world around her, highlighting the underlying themes of belonging and self-discovery that will define their relationship.
