"Squire Arden" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Edgar Arden, the young heir of the Arden estate, who returns home after a lengthy absence. The opening chapters introduce the picturesque village of Arden and the complexities of Edgar's familial relationships, particularly his troubled history with his father, the late Squire, and his deep bond with his sister, Clare. The beginning of "Squire Arden" sets the stage for Edgar's return to his ancestral home, evoking a strong sense of nostalgia and transformation. The narrative opens with the village celebrating Edgar's homecoming, juxtaposed with the bittersweet feelings of Sarah, the old nurse, who mourns the struggles he has faced. Edgar's bond with Clare is showcased as they navigate the complexities of their family's legacy, including whispered tensions surrounding the old squire's harsh treatment of Edgar and Clare's protective love for her brother. Their dynamic hints at deeper themes of familial duty, identity, and the struggle to reconcile with a troubled past as Edgar seeks to forge his own path within the expectations of his heritage.
