Summary: "The Prisoner" by Alice Brown is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins in the quaint town of Addington, where we meet the main characters: Anne and Lydia French, along with their stepfather, referred to as the colonel. The narrative introduces the emotional undercurrents surrounding their arrival in a new home after the loss of their mother, intertwined with themes of family, expectation, and the return of a long-absent brother. At the start of the novel, the sisters observe Addington with a mix of excitement and apprehension as they navigate their feelings about their stepfather and the memories of their past. Their relationship with their stepfather is shaped by their shared history and the lingering presence of their deceased mother. The opening chapters establish a sense of longing and anticipation, particularly in relation to their brother Jeff, who is set to return from prison after serving time for a financial crime. The characters are introduced with rich descriptions that hint at their complexities and the dynamics of their family, setting the stage for the unfolding drama surrounding Jeff's reintegration into their lives and the challenges that lie ahead.
