Project Gutenberg 2010-09-29 Public domain in the USA. 217 Trollope, Anthony 1815 1882 Rachel Ray Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rachel_Ray_(novel) E-text prepared by Delphine Lettau and Joseph E. Loewenstein, M.D. "Rachel Ray" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the life of Rachel Ray, a young woman navigating her relationships and societal expectations in a provincial English town. Central to her life are her interactions with her family, particularly her mother, Mrs. Ray, and her sister, Mrs. Prime, who impose strict moral standards on her, especially regarding young men like Luke Rowan from a local brewery. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Ray family, highlighting the dynamics between Mrs. Ray, a widow, her elder daughter Dorothea, and the young Rachel. The chapter describes Mrs. Ray's character as soft and affectionate, yet overshadowed by her stern and controlling daughter, Mrs. Prime. As Rachel's youthful spirit begins to awaken, she finds herself drawn into social interactions that her family views with suspicion, particularly her encounters with Luke Rowan, which provoke concern and tension among the women. The opening establishes an engaging conflict between the youthful desire for independence and the constraining societal expectations imposed by her family.
