Summary: "That Unfortunate Marriage, Vol. 1" by Frances Eleanor Trollope is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Augustus Cheffington, who makes a regrettable marriage to Susan Dobbs, leading to a series of misfortunes and a tarnished legacy. The narrative delves into themes of social class, family expectations, and the consequences of personal choices, particularly as they impact both Augustus and his motherless daughter, May. The opening of the novel introduces us to Augustus Cheffington, whose ill-fated decision to marry Susan Dobbs has resulted in disdain from his family and a dismal career trajectory. As he navigates life after Susan's death, Augustus is left to care for his daughter, Miranda (or May). The early chapters highlight his bitterness and resentment toward his family's lack of support while revealing his inability or unwillingness to take responsibility for his daughter's future. As circumstances push May toward her relatives in London, the complexities of her position as a Cheffington, with ties to a noble family yet raised by her plebeian grandmother, foreshadow the conflicts and societal challenges she will face.
