Summary: "By Right of Purchase" by Harold Bindloss is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Charley Leland, a Western Canadian farmer who finds himself entangled in the lives of the Denham family while visiting England. The novel explores themes of social class, duty, and personal sacrifice as Leland navigates his interactions with the Denhams, particularly with Carrie Denham, who is caught between familial obligations and her desire for autonomy. The opening of the narrative introduces Leland during his stay at Barrock-holme, the Denham family estate. He reflects on his home in Western Canada while observing the historical significance of the manor and its surroundings. We meet key characters, including Jimmy Denham, and learn of their financial struggles, hinting at the pressure Carrie feels to marry for practicality rather than love. Leland's burgeoning interest in Carrie becomes evident when he offers her brother money, indicating his willingness to assist despite being an outsider. As the opening chapters unfold, a sense of tension builds around Carrie’s predicament, establishing a backdrop of impending decisions that will shape the characters' futures.
