"The Romance of a Shop" by Amy Levy is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of the Lorimer sisters—Gertrude, Lucy, Frances, and Phyllis—who face a sudden shift in their fortunes after the death of their father and loss of the family wealth. The novel delves into their attempts to adapt to their new circumstances, particularly focusing on their decision to open a photography business, a venture that challenges societal expectations of women during that era. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Lorimer sisters as they grapple with the shock of their financial decline and the death of their father. Gertrude emerges as a strong character, contemplating the future and the responsibilities thrust upon them. The sisters come together in their grief and resolve to support each other by entering the professional world, specifically photography, as they navigate their way through the challenges posed by their new reality. The opening sets the tone for their journey of empowerment and self-discovery amidst pressing societal norms and personal tribulations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
