| Summary | "Christian's Mistake" by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik is a novel set in the mid-19th century. The story focuses on Christian Oakley, a young woman who finds herself thrust into the role of a wife and stepmother after marrying Dr. Arnold Grey, a widowed university master. As Christian navigates her new life, she grapples with the complexities of her identity, societal expectations, and her relationships with her husband's children, who are initially wary of her. The opening of the novel portrays the moments immediately following Christian's marriage, highlighting her uncertainty and the emotional turmoil that accompanies her new role. As she interacts with Mrs. Ferguson, her former employer, and her new husband, Dr. Grey, Christian's feelings of inadequacy and her desire to meet the expectations of her husband and his children become evident. The narrative captures her internal struggles as she reflects on her past, the weight of her responsibilities, and the challenges posed by Dr. Grey's three children, setting the stage for the unfolding drama of her adjustment to a life that feels both foreign and like a dream.
