"The Duke’s Daughter; and The Fugitives; vol. 3/3" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story seems to revolve around the experiences of Helen and her younger sister Janey, who find themselves navigating a new and unfamiliar life in a small French village called Latour after their father's circumstances change drastically. The narrative explores themes of identity, adaptation, and social dynamics amidst the contrasts between their past lives and their current reality. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the village of Latour, where life is depicted through the innocent eyes of young Janey, who is intrigued by the local characters and their customs. Helen, meanwhile, grapples with a sense of loss and the unfamiliarity of her new environment, marked by her father's recent acquisition of a corner of woodland and their transition from a wealthy existence in England. The opening chapters depict the sisters' interactions with local villagers, their attempts at blending into this new life, and Helen's reflections on her past—a life of privilege that seems distant in the face of their current situation. As Helen and Janey engage with the local community, they hope to make sense of their lives among the stark realities of change, making their journey both a physical and emotional exploration.
