| Summary | "A Mere Chance: A Novel. Vol. 1" by Ada Cambridge is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Rachel Fetherstonhaugh, a young debutante in Melbourne who unexpectedly rises to prominence in society after being introduced by her wealthy aunt, Mrs. Hardy. As Rachel navigates her new life filled with social engagements and romantic intrigue, the narrative explores her personal journey, particularly her encounters with suitors, including the wealthy Mr. Kingston, and the complexities surrounding love and class expectations. The opening of the novel introduces Rachel as she enjoys the luxuries of her new life, reflecting on her past and her desire to escape the poor circumstances of her upbringing. Mrs. Hardy's initial determination to support Rachel transforms into pride at her niece’s beauty and potential for a successful marriage. As Rachel captures the attention of the local society, especially Mr. Kingston, she grapples with feelings of contentment mixed with uncertainties about her past and her aspirations for the future. This initial setup establishes a rich social landscape in which themes of love, identity, and societal expectations are poised to unfold. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
