(Charlotte Mary) Lady Hester; Or, Ursula's Narrative Produced by Sandra Laythorpe. HTML version by Al Haines. “Lady Hester; Or, Ursula's Narrative” by Charlotte M. Yonge is a novel written during the late 19th century. It explores themes of identity, family, and societal expectations through the lens of its main characters, particularly Ursula and her family, as they navigate the complexities of their heritage and the unexpected consequences of a long-buried secret regarding Lord Trevorsham's first marriage. At the start of the narrative, Ursula, along with her brothers and sister, reflects on their family history and the strange circumstances that surround their lineage, particularly after the arrival of Hester Lea, who claims to be the daughter of Lord Trevorsham's first wife. Ursula recounts the happy days at their childhood home of Trevorsham, contrasted with the troubled present defined by Hester's claim. The story unfolds with a mixture of nostalgia and foreboding, setting the stage for the unfolding drama as Hester's presence brings to light the unresolved matters concerning her mother's past and the implications for Ursula's family, forcing them to confront their identity and social standing.
