Arnold The Lion's Share Produced by Jonathan Ingram, Nick Kocharhook and the PG Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Lion's Share" by Arnold Bennett is a novel set in the early 20th century, likely around the time of its first publication in 1916. The story revolves around the life of Audrey Moze, a young woman experiencing the constraints of familial expectations and societal norms in a small village in Essex. The opening portion hints at themes of rebellion against overbearing parental authority, the quest for self-identity, and the struggle for independence against societal confines. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Audrey as she seems trapped in her father's oppressive household. In her interactions with Miss Ingate, an amusing yet wise local figure, we observe Audrey's carefree spirit contrasting sharply with her father's rigid control. A significant plot point is her revelation that her father has severely restricted her freedoms, indicating tensions within their family dynamic. Audrey's impulsive decision to take money from her father's safe signals her yearning for autonomy and hints at her resolve to escape her confining life, suggesting a transformative journey ahead. The stage is set for a compelling exploration of freedom, duty, and the complexities of human relationships, likely accompanied by a mix of humor and poignant insight.
