"The World Before Them: A Novel. Volume 2 (of 3)" by Susanna Moodie is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a quaint English setting and introduces readers to Dorothy, a young woman grappling with love, loss, and the encroachment of societal expectations. As Dorothy navigates her feelings for Gilbert Rushmere, who has achieved military promotion and seemingly forgotten her, the story deepens its exploration of personal aspirations against the backdrop of broader social realities. The opening of the novel introduces us to Dorothy's life, highlighting her emotional ties to her deceased mother and her current position as a pupil in the home of Mr. Martin, the local curate. Her connection to Gilbert is defined by youthful dreams and nostalgia, set against the backdrop of a small village where social class and familial duties weigh heavily on personal decisions. As Gilbert’s fortunes rise, Dorothy's heart is left in turmoil, struggling to accept his apparent indifference to their past love. Fatigued by emotional weight, she finds solace in her duties and new relationships, particularly with the Martin family, all while confronting the harsh realities of life and societal expectations that threaten her hopes for happiness.
