Summary "Tom Burke Of 'Ours', Volume I" by Charles James Lever is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The book is set against the backdrop of military life during the Napoleonic Wars in France and revolves around themes of family, loss, and personal struggle. The main character, Tom Burke, is a young boy navigating a tumultuous period in his life as he deals with the impending death of a parent while reflecting on the dynamics of his family, particularly in contrast to his favored older brother. The opening of "Tom Burke Of 'Ours'" introduces us to the protagonist Tom as he travels to his father's house after receiving a summons. The atmosphere is bleak, with descriptions of cold weather and an unwelcoming home awaiting Tom, who experiences feelings of neglect and isolation from his family. As he arrives, he learns about his father's critical condition and the somber reality of his family ties. Tom’s emotional turmoil is palpable as he reflects on his relationships, particularly the favoritism toward his brother and the absence of affection from his father. The narrative sets the stage for Tom's journey of self-discovery and resilience amidst adversity as he confronts his family's legacy and his own aspirations.
