Summary: "Averil" by Rosa Nouchette Carey is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on the life of Averil Willmot, a delicate young woman who struggles with her responsibilities towards her step-family while navigating her own needs and desires. The book explores themes of kindness, duty, and the challenges of personal happiness in the face of familial expectations. The opening portion introduces us to Mr. Harland, a cheerful lawyer, and Averil, his close friend. The scene unfolds on a rainy day in Lincoln's Inn as Averil expresses her concerns about her step-family and her desire to help a distant cousin named Annette Ramsay, who has recently lost her mother. The narrative highlights Averil's gentle nature and her commitment to helping those in need, as well as Mr. Harland’s concern for her well-being. As he reads a letter from Annette, the emotional weight surrounding both their lives and the theme of familial obligation begins to take shape, setting the stage for the unfolding drama and connections between the characters.
