Summary "Dorrien of Cranston" by Bertram Mitford is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the complex dynamics within the Dorrien family, particularly focusing on General Dorrien and his estranged son, Roland, who has returned to England after an extended absence due to a family rift marked by anger and misunderstanding. As familial relations unfold, themes of duty, legacy, and the contrasting natures of the characters are explored, placing the characters' interactions under a lens of social scrutiny. The opening of the novel introduces General Dorrien, who is grappling with the unexpected return of his son Roland after years of estrangement due to a past scandal. The General, characterized by his stern demeanor and uncompromising nature, reflects on painful memories, particularly the loss of his first son, which has shaped his austere approach to fatherhood. As Roland prepares to confront his father upon returning home, we also meet the spirited Dorrien daughter, Nellie, and glimpse other familial tensions, including the somewhat indulgent relationship their mother has with their younger brother, Hubert. The scene is set for a tale of reconciliation, exploration of societal norms, and the quest for personal identity within the constraints of family expectations.
