"The Sorceress" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds through the lens of Bee Kingsward, the main character, who grapples with tumultuous emotions as her family faces the reality of her mother’s grave illness. This turmoil serves as a backdrop against the complexities of love, duty, and personal sacrifice, reflecting the struggles of a young woman navigating personal tragedy while considering the expectations placed upon her by family and society. At the start of the novel, the narrative immerses us in Bee's inner turmoil following the collapse of her expectations for happiness alongside the distress brought on by her mother’s critical condition. The atmosphere is charged with anxiety as Bee oscillates between her own emotional devastation following a romantic betrayal and the heavy responsibility thrust upon her during her mother's illness. As the doctor reveals the severity of her mother’s state to Bee, she is confronted with the weight of expectation to be the strong pillar for her family, despite feeling shattered herself. This opening sets the stage for a profound exploration of family dynamics, personal sacrifice, and the relentless passage of grief and love amidst despair.
