| Summary | "Hester: A Story of Contemporary Life, Volume 3 (of 3)" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the character Hester, exploring themes of love, ambition, and social expectations in contemporary society. The novel presents a nuanced depiction of Hester's relationships with others, especially her interactions with Roland and Edward Vernon, as romantic tensions and personal ambitions unfold. The opening of the book introduces a lively dialogue among characters who discuss affairs of the heart and the complexities of social expectations. Hester is portrayed as a strong and independent woman who grapples with societal pressures and her own desires, particularly concerning her feelings for Edward Vernon. Emma, her friend, expresses anxiety over her own romantic situation, revealing the competitive nature of relationships among women. The narrative seamlessly blends domestic life with deeper philosophical inquiries into ambition and societal roles, setting the stage for Hester's personal journey and the evolving dynamics of her relationships as various characters navigate their own paths.
