Summary: "An Autumn Sowing" by E. F. Benson is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of the Keeling family, particularly focusing on the patriarch, Mr. Thomas Keeling, who grapples with his moral convictions, the expectations placed upon him by society, and the contrasting dynamics within his family. The narrative starts with a depiction of a church sermon that sets the tone for the exploration of themes such as social class, propriety, and familial conflict. The opening of the novel introduces Mr. Keeling during a solemn church service, where he contemplates the stern message conveyed by Dr. Inglis about eternal damnation. While his children, especially John and Alice, are shown to grapple with their own insecurities and aspirations, we also meet Mrs. Keeling, who seems to hold a distinct lack of interest in the profound subjects that occupy her husband’s mind. The tension escalates during a meal following the service, particularly with the introduction of Mrs. Goodford, Mr. Keeling's mother-in-law, whose sharp tongue and biting remarks reveal family dynamics marked by conflict and unresolved resentments. The initial chapters set the stage for a deeper examination of social interactions, personal aspirations, and the burdens of family legacy within a changing society.
