"Nelly Channell" by Sarah Doudney is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of the Farren family, particularly focusing on Rhoda Farren, who returns to her childhood home only to find it altered by new residents, including her cousin Helen and Helen's baby. The narrative delves into themes of family dynamics, social challenges, and the personal struggles of its characters, particularly in the context of love and moral dilemmas. The opening of the novel introduces a bleak November day as Rhoda reflects on her return to Huntsdean and the changes within the family home. As she confronts her feelings about her cousin Helen—who has become a mother and is entangled in distress due to her husband’s actions—Rhoda’s internal conflicts about her past and the future take shape. The atmosphere is heavy with nostalgia and resistance, as Rhoda grapples with the presence of Helen's baby and the implications of familial duty. Through vivid descriptions and emotional undercurrents, the beginning sets the stage for Rhoda's journey of self-discovery amid the complexities of family and societal expectations.
