Yonge is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around the Woodbourne sisters—Elizabeth, Helen, and Katherine—as they prepare for the consecration of a new church in their town, Abbeychurch. Themes of family dynamics, personal responsibilities, and societal expectations are explored through the interactions of the sisters as they navigate relationships and their duties amidst the upcoming ecclesiastical event. At the start of the novel, the Woodbourne sisters are introduced, each with distinct personalities and perspectives. As they discuss the preparations for the church consecration, their contrasting views are highlighted, particularly between the practical and duty-oriented Katherine, the more serious and contemplative Helen, and the spirited and lively Elizabeth. Their conversations reveal familial bonds and the challenges they face with relatives like Mrs. Hazleby, whose arrival threatens to disrupt their harmony.
