Title The Lovels of Arden
Credits Produced by Jonathan Ingram and PG Distributed Proofreaders
Summary "The Lovels of Arden" by M. E. Braddon is a novel written during the late 19th century (Victorian era). It focuses on Clarissa Lovel, a young woman returning to England after seven years abroad, only to find her familial home, Arden Court, has been sold due to her father's declining fortune. The narrative delves into themes of familial neglect, societal expectations, and the quest for love and acceptance. At the start of the story, Clarissa arrives in London filled with longing for her father and the memories of Arden Court, despite her feelings of alienation from her English heritage. Her anxiety about her father's reception and her current status is palpable. After an encounter with a gentleman on the train, which brings her a glimpse of companionship, she reaches her forced new home in a nearby cottage. Here, she learns from her uncle that her father has sold the old family estate, which crushes her spirit as she grapples with familial estrangement, longing for her lost home, and the chilling realization of her uncertain future.
