Summary: "The Curate in Charge" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the parish of Brentburn and revolves around the life of the Reverend Cecil St. John, who becomes the curate in charge of the parish after inheriting its duties from a rector who sought refuge in more appealing locales. Through St. John's character, the book explores themes of tranquility, familial relationships, and the complexities of rural parish life. The opening portion of the novel introduces the setting of Brentburn, a parish that blends lush English woods with moorland. St. John is portrayed as a peaceful yet passive figure, content to go with the flow of life without much initiative. However, his tranquility is disrupted by the arrival of his estranged daughters, Cicely and Mab, who are forced into their own journeys of discovery and adaptation following their mother's untimely death and their father's unexpected marriage to Miss Brown, a governess. The narrative sets up a rich exploration of the intertwined lives of family members as they navigate love, loss, and the pressures of societal expectations in their unfolding story.
