Summary: "The Three Sisters" by May Sinclair is a novel written during the early 20th century. Set in the bleak rural landscape of Garthdale, the story centers around Mary, Gwendolen, and Alice Cartaret, three sisters navigating their lives and ambitions against the backdrop of their father's limitations as a vicar and the stifling environment of their home. The novel explores themes of familial duty, personal aspiration, and the struggle for self-identity among women during this era. The opening portion of the book introduces the setting and the main characters, providing a vivid portrayal of the village of Garth and the atmospheric isolation it embodies. The three sisters are presented in a state of quiet anticipation, each encapsulated in her own thoughts and waiting for the mundane rituals of their lives to unfold, particularly the arrival of their father for evening prayers. Through subtle characterization, Mary appears introspective and enduring, Gwendolen is lively yet restless, and Alice is passive and frail. Their interactions hint at underlying tensions and unfulfilled desires, setting the stage for the novel’s exploration of their lives and relationships, particularly with the new doctor, Steven Rowcliffe, who subtly disrupts their stagnant existence.
