"Shenac's Work at Home" by Margaret M. Robertson is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story takes place in Scotland and follows the trials of the MacIvor family after a tragic event that forces them to confront the harsh realities of life in a new land and the struggles that come with it. Central to the narrative is Shenac, a determined young woman who takes on the responsibility of leading her family through hardship after the loss of her father and the absence of her brother. At the start of the book, the MacIvor family faces profound sorrow as they cope with the loss of a son, Lewis, and the death of the family patriarch. Shenac, along with her older brother Hamish and younger siblings, is tasked with holding the family together amid financial burdens and the threat of losing their homestead to a relative, Angus Dhu. The opening depicts Shenac's strong resolve and a deep sense of responsibility as she vows to maintain their family’s land and honor her father's legacy while navigating the challenges of their new life and the emerging tensions within their family dynamic.
