"Frederica and her Guardians; Or, The Perils of Orphanhood" by Margaret M. Robertson is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Frederica Vane and her family, exploring themes of orphanhood, struggle, and the complexities of family life, particularly through the lens of Frederica's relationship with her ailing mother, Mrs. Vane. The narrative delves into Frederica's attempts to care for her family while grappling with her own desires and the harsh realities of their circumstances. The opening of the novel introduces the Vanes, who live in a large house surrounded by a beautiful garden, which has endured the encroachment of urban development. It paints a picture of Mrs. Vane, burdened by illness and overshadowed by her unsupportive husband, Mr. Vane. The couple's troubled marriage and the challenges of raising their children in a rapidly changing world are highlighted. As the story progresses, the reader learns about Frederica's deep affection for her family, particularly her blind sister Selina, and her yearning to help alleviate her mother's suffering amidst their domestic troubles, setting the stage for a poignant exploration of family dynamics and personal growth.
