| Summary | "The Open Question: A Tale of Two Temperaments" by Elizabeth Robins is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the lives of the Gano family, tracing their lineage and the struggles they face against the backdrop of American society during the Civil War and its aftermath. Central to the story are Ethan Gano and his mother, Mrs. Sarah C. Gano, depicting themes of family ties, identity, and the complexities of their newfound reality post-war. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the Gano family, whose lineage is explored in detail, highlighting their significance in Southern society before the Civil War. The opening portion focuses on Mrs. Gano's strong character and her challenges raising her delicate children—Ethan, John, and Valeria—amidst the tumultuous changes following the war. As the family relocates to New Plymouth in search of stability, the diverse reactions of the townspeople towards their Southern heritage sets the stage for cultural clashes, especially regarding issues of class and race. The narrative captures the tension between the family's expectations and the slow integration into Northern life, emphasizing the struggles of the characters as they navigate their identities in a transformed society.
