Very easy to read. “Melbourne House” by Susan Warner is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around a young girl named Daisy Randolph, who is portrayed as thoughtful and earnest, grappling with profound questions about faith, morality, and social values in a world that often seems indifferent to the concerns of the poor. As she navigates her relationships with her parents, peers, and the less fortunate in her community, readers are invited to explore themes of compassion, duty, and personal growth. At the start of the novel, Daisy is introduced as she descends the grand staircase of her home, reflecting on a question that has been troubling her: what it truly means to be a Christian. The opening chapters set the stage for her interactions with her indifferent parents and her earnest desire to understand her faith, which leads her to seek the guidance of Mr. Dinwiddie, a Sunday-school teacher. As Daisy embarks on small adventures, such as picking wintergreens with her friend Nora and later planning a birthday feast for her family's workers, her innocence and compassion shine through, establishing the book’s exploration of innocence in the face of societal disparity and her internal struggles with the call to Christian service.
