Summary: "The House on the Moor, v. 1/3" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers on the lives of two siblings, Horace and Susan Scarsdale, who live in a gloomy, isolated household on the edge of Lanwoth Moor, burdened by their father’s oppressive demeanor and their strained family dynamics. As their uncle, Colonel Edward Sutherland, arrives on the scene, it promises to instill a new sense of warmth and possibility into their lives. The opening of the novel introduces us to the stark environment in which Susan and Horace live, detailing both the dreariness of their home and the oppressive nature of their relationship with their father. Susan, content yet stifled by her surroundings, contrasts sharply with Horace, who is restless and embittered by their circumstances. Their interaction reveals an underlying tension between them, particularly regarding their father’s expectations. The narrative then shifts to Colonel Sutherland’s journey to visit them, setting the stage for a potential change in their lives as he embodies the warmth and connection that has been absent in their isolated existence. The opening captures the desolation of their lives and hints at a possible reprieve through familial love and support that Colonel Sutherland may represent.
