Summary: "The English Orphans; Or, A Home in the New World" by Mary Jane Holmes is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the plight of young orphans, particularly focusing on Mary Howard, who struggles with her self-image and the harsh realities of life after losing her parents. As the children face the challenges of poverty and social stigma in America, themes of beauty, kindness, and resilience emerge as they establish new connections and fight for their place in the world. The opening of the novel introduces us to the Howards as they emigrate from England to America aboard the vessel Windermere. We meet Mary, a sickly-looking girl who feels overshadowed by her beautiful sister, Ella. As they journey to a new life, they grapple with familial ties, social status, and the longing for acceptance. The narrative also hints at the challenges that await them in their new home, exploring complex relationships among the Howard family and the people they encounter, such as George Moreland, an adventurous boy whose affection both uplifts and troubles Mary. The stage is set for an exploration of the harsh realities of orphanhood, as well as the potential for new beginnings and relationships. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
