"Arthur's Inheritance: or, How He Conquered" by Emma Leslie is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around young Arthur Murray, who, after the death of his father, struggles with the family's financial decline and seeks to contribute to their household through work, thus confronting the challenges of growing up and responsibility. The initial chapters introduce Arthur and his sisters as they navigate their new reality while trying to maintain their family dignity amidst financial hardship. At the start of the novel, readers find Arthur discussing his ambitions with his sisters, revealing their family's recent struggles following the death of their father. Arthur takes it upon himself to secure a job at a local shop, much to the concern of his sisters, who worry about societal perceptions. As they navigate their domestic challenges, including their mother's fixation on her cherished cats, the siblings' lively discussions illustrate their resilience and camaraderie. The opening portion sets the stage for Arthur's journey of self-discovery as he grapples with the ideals of family honour, the dignity associated with work, and the harsh realities of their circumstances.
