Summary "The Prodigal Father" by J. Storer Clouston is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story opens in Edinburgh and introduces Heriot Walkingshaw, a respected lawyer whose life suddenly takes a turn as he grapples with the repercussions of his decisions, both personally and in terms of his family dynamics. The narrative revolves around themes of respectability, societal expectations, and the contrast between traditional values and youthful aspirations. At the start of the novel, two citizens in a tram car discuss a shocking public incident involving Mr. Walkingshaw that has left the community baffled. As the narrative unfolds, readers are introduced to Mr. Walkingshaw, his family, and the expectations that come with his respectable standing in society. His interactions with his children, particularly the disapproval of his son's romantic interests and the pressures from his own sister, create a rich tapestry of family dynamics and societal scrutiny. The opening segments set the stage for a story that explores not only his character's conflicts but also the broader implications of choices made in pursuit of happiness and the weight of respectability.
