"It Is Never Too Late to Mend" by Charles Reade is a novel written during the mid-19th century. The narrative revolves around George Fielding, a struggling farmer in Berkshire, whose life is burdened by poverty and unyielding circumstances. The plot intertwines themes of love, familial bonds, and the quest for a better life, particularly as George faces challenges not only from his failing farm but also from his brother and rival, William, as well as their shared love interest, Susanna Merton. The opening of the novel introduces George Fielding as he grapples with the harsh realities of farm life, feeling the weight of his predicament compounded by his feelings for Susanna Merton. George’s conversations with the upbeat Frank Winchester reveal a potential escape to Australia in search of fortune, while tensions build around his unspoken rivalry with his brother William for Susanna's affections. Meanwhile, local figures, including the wealthy and somewhat unscrupulous corn-factor, Mr. Meadows, and the enigmatic Isaac Levi, a Jewish money-lender, contribute to a web of social and romantic intrigues that set the stage for George's impending journey, both physical and emotional. The chapter establishes a rich tapestry of characters and motivations that will likely drive the ensuing drama and development throughout the novel. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
