"Oranges and Lemons" by Mary C. E. Wemyss is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the lives of Marcus Maitland and his family, particularly focusing on the dynamic between Marcus, his sister Sibyl, and his niece Diana, as well as the influence of family relationships and societal expectations on personal identities. The characters grapple with the complexities of love, guardianship, and the passage of youth. The opening of the novel introduces us to Marcus Maitland, a somewhat solitary bachelor who is prompted to take an interest in his niece Diana after his sister Sibyl writes to him about her need for care while she is away. As we are introduced to Marcus's world, it becomes clear he has a disdain for the overbearing presence of his brother-in-law and his sister’s strong-minded sister-in-law, Elsie. The story hints at the contrasting personalities of the characters, with Marcus portrayed as an unyielding traditionalist in contrast to the vibrant and carefree nature of young Diana. The narrative sets the stage for a struggle between family loyalty, personal freedom, and the joys and burdens of caretaking relationships.
