Summary | "Elsie at Home" by Martha Finley is a novel written in the late 19th century. This book is part of the "Elsie" series, focusing on themes of family, love, and morality within a Christian context. The story begins with the arrival of Laura, a long-separated mother, who arrives at the home of her daughter, Evelyn. Their reunion is fraught with emotional struggles as Laura grapples with her health and the tumultuous years that have kept them apart. The opening of "Elsie at Home" introduces readers to a wet March evening, where a weary passenger, Laura, endures a taxing journey to reunite with her daughter, Evelyn. The setting shifts to Fairview, where Evelyn, alongside other family members, welcomes her mother back with a mixture of joy and concern for her fragile condition. The narrative establishes the themes of familial duty and nurturing love as Evelyn and her family rally to care for Laura, who suffers from consumption. The mood oscillates between warmth and sorrow, painting a complex picture of their relationship and the challenges of reconciling past grievances with the desire for a loving, supportive family.
