Summary: "The Doctor's Family" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story revolves around Dr. Edward Rider, a young physician struggling to forge a respectable practice in the socially divided town of Carlingford. The narrative introduces themes of familial obligation and personal sacrifice, primarily highlighting Dr. Rider's complicated relationship with his elder brother, Fred, whose return ignites a series of challenges and moral dilemmas that affect the doctor's life and work. At the start of the novel, we meet young Dr. Rider, who has taken up residence in a humble corner of Carlingford, intent on establishing his medical practice despite the societal stigma attached to his surroundings. As he navigates the realities of his career and his own personal ambitions, he is burdened by the presence of his indolent brother Fred, who has returned from a failed attempt at building his own life abroad. This unexpected visit leads to a complicated dynamic wherein Fred, alongside his family, begins to invade Edward's home and disrupt his already challenging life. The unfolding drama captures the interplay of responsibility, regret, and the temptation to escape from one’s duties, setting the stage for poignant explorations of family ties and the struggles of duty versus desire.
