E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Mary Meehan, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Uncle Max" by Rosa Nouchette Carey is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Ursula, a young woman grappling with the loss of her twin brother, Charlie, and her struggle to find her identity and place in a world dominated by societal expectations and family pressures. As she navigates her emotions and relationships, the influence of her Uncle Max, a liberal clergyman who supports her desire to help the poor, becomes pivotal in her journey toward independence. The opening of "Uncle Max" presents Ursula reflecting on moments in her life that act as turning points amidst her sorrow. After returning from hospital work following her brother’s death, she feels trapped in her aunt's home, longing for purpose and connection. Ursula feels misunderstood by her family, particularly by her Aunt Philippa and cousin Sara, whose lives seem superficial compared to her deep sense of duty. The arrival of Uncle Max offers a glimmer of hope and solace; his kind demeanor is a welcome contrast to the constricting atmosphere at home. Their conversation hints at a future where Ursula may pursue her calling to help others, revealing her character's resilience and desire for meaningful existence as she considers moving away to make her dreams a reality.
