"The Berkeleys and Their Neighbors" by Molly Elliot Seawell is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in post-Civil War Virginia, focusing on the socially distinctive and pleasure-loving communities as they navigate the remnants of their pre-war life. The narrative follows Colonel Berkeley and his daughter, Olivia, who are returning to their old social life amidst the changes the war has brought. At the start of the novel, a provincial Virginia race-course serves as the backdrop where Colonel Berkeley and Olivia attend the Campdown fall meeting, revealing the social dynamics of their world. Colonel Berkeley, characterized by his old-fashioned manners and deep-seated pride, navigates his interactions with locals, including the Hibbs family, while Olivia grapples with her return after a period abroad. The opening portion introduces key characters, including the disfigured Miles Pembroke, and lays the groundwork for exploring themes of social status, the consequences of war, and the complex relationships between these characters in their shifting world.
