| Summary | "A Houseful of Girls" by Sarah Tytler is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of the Millar sisters, focusing on the complexities of growing up in a household full of girls, and the societal expectations surrounding love and marriage. As the plot unfolds, themes of family dynamics, ambition, and societal class begin to emerge through their interactions and experiences, particularly as they face romantic advancements and familial pressures.
