Summary "Home Influence: A Tale for Mothers and Daughters" by Grace Aguilar is a domestic novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative explores themes of maternal responsibility, the moral implications of upbringing, and the differences in character development among children. The story prominently features the relationship between two families—the Fortescues and the Hamiltons—focusing particularly on the contrasting lives of the siblings Edward and Ellen Fortescue, who navigate the complexities of love, loss, and the influence of their mother during her terminal illness. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the tranquil Welsh village of Llangwillan, where the widow Mrs. Fortescue is gravely ill, prompting her sister, Mrs. Hamilton, to come to her side. The scene is set with Mrs. Fortescue's son, Edward, launching a toy ship, symbolizing the innocence and joy of childhood amidst impending sorrow. Mrs. Fortescue's fraught emotions concerning her son's future and her relationship with her daughter, Ellen, unfold, revealing her fears that Ellen's reserved nature will prevent her from adequately caring for Edward after she is gone. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for a deep exploration of familial love and the consequences of a mother’s influence on her children’s character and destiny as she faces her mortality.
