| Summary | "Robert Falconer" by George MacDonald is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story centers around a young boy named Robert Falconer, who, at fourteen years old, grapples with memories of his past, including his absent father and the secrets surrounding his family. The book explores Robert's reflections on his childhood, his relationship with his grandmother, and his interactions with peers, all set against a backdrop steeped in Scottish culture. The opening of "Robert Falconer" introduces us to the main character, Robert, as he recalls a mysterious visit from a man he believes to be his father, a memory clouded by time and uncertainty. As he navigates through childhood solitude and the dynamics at home, he reflects on the absence of his mother and the emotional distance from his grandmother. The first chapters also set the tone of Robert's world, filled with introspective thoughts amid a cold and desolate setting, while also depicting his interactions with a classmate named Shargar, who faces his own struggles. The narrative blends elements of nostalgia and the harsh realities of Robert's life, foreshadowing the challenges he will face in understanding his family's history and finding his place in the world.
