"The Three Brothers; vol. 3/3" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story focuses on the personal struggles and relationships of Alice Severn, a young and talented girl, as her mother contemplates the implications of her daughter's potential future as a musician in a society where financial independence is tenuous for women. Through the lens of familial ties, romantic interests, and societal expectations, the book explores the intersections of love, sacrifice, and personal growth. At the start of the narrative, Alice, just over sixteen years old, lives with her mother, Mrs. Severn, who is deeply invested in her daughter's well-being and future. The opening chapter introduces a discussion between Alice's mother and Mr. Welby, who urges Mrs. Severn to prepare Alice for a public life due to her evident talent. Despite her desire to protect Alice's childhood innocence, Mrs. Severn grapples with fears about their financial future, especially as Alice begins to harbor innocent romantic feelings for Frank Renton, a young Guardsman. The initial tension between maternal instincts and the inevitability of growing up sets the stage for Alice's emotional journey, foreshadowing the complexities of love and duty that will unfold throughout the story.
