Summary: "Her Mother's Secret" by Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around personal and familial conflicts, particularly focusing on Odalite Force, the protagonist who is torn between her childhood love Leonidas and the pressures exerted by her mother to consider marriage with the older Colonel Angus Anglesea. The novel delves into themes of love, duty, and the sacrifices made for family honor. The opening of the novel introduces us to Odalite as she pleads with her mother, Elfrida Force, not to force her to break off her connection with Leonidas, her childhood friend and love. Elfrida insists that Odalite must embrace her destiny, which may not involve Leonidas, as she tries to prepare her for a more advantageous marital union. As the conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that Odalite is unaware of a deeper family secret that compels her mother to manipulate her daughter’s affections and future. Colonel Anglesea, who has a questionable past, emerges as a suitor, ultimately creating tension between Odalite's desires and her family's expectations. This clash sets the stage for the dramatic struggles Odalite will face between adherence to family honor and her own heart's yearnings. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
