Summary "The Allen House; Or, Twenty Years Ago and Now" by T. S. Arthur is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story explores themes of duty, love, and the impact of choices over time, centering on the character of a doctor who navigates the complexities of life and relationships in a small town setting. The opening chapters introduce a backdrop of stormy weather and domestic tranquility, hinting at deeper conflicts and character struggles to come. At the start of the novel, the reader meets a doctor returning home to his loving wife after a long, rainy day, only to receive calls for urgent medical help. The narrative unfolds to reveal the precarious situation of another family, the Wallingfords, as the son, Henry, grapples with anxiety linked to a romantic rejection. Simultaneously, there’s mystery surrounding the infamous Allen House, where strange occurrences are noted, suggesting something troubling has transpired. This dual focus on the doctor’s life and the troubled Allen family sets the stage for a web of intrigue and emotional exploration that develops throughout the narrative.
