"My Young Alcides: A Faded Photograph" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Lucy Alison, who reflects on her family's history and the arrival of her estranged relatives, particularly the young man referred to as "young Alcides" or Harold. The backdrop includes themes of family ties, societal perceptions, and personal growth as Lucy grapples with her feelings towards her disinherited relatives and the impact of their past. At the start of the novel, Lucy Alison discusses a faded photograph that sparks memories of her family's tumultuous history, particularly focusing on her twin brothers from a previous marriage of her father's, who were transported for their revolutionary activities. The narrative transitions to the unsettling arrival of her nephews—Eustace and Harold—after their father's death, underlined by societal prejudice against their backgrounds. Lucy experiences a mix of apprehension and curiosity upon meeting Harold, who displays a large, imposing physique and an air of kindness, and soon finds herself navigating the complexities of her feelings toward her family ties while contemplating the challenges that lie ahead.
