| Summary | "Klorinda" by Frances Hodgson Burnett is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces readers to Klorinda, a spirited young girl, as she navigates the challenges and expectations of her noble lineage within a tumultuous family environment. The narrative focuses on her relationship with her father, Jeoffrey, and paints a vivid picture of life in a bygone era. The opening of the book sets the scene in 1690 at Wildairs Hall, where the boisterous Jeoffrey prepares for a hunting expedition amidst chaos and merriment. Meanwhile, his wife, who is gravely ill after giving birth to their ninth daughter, is neglected and suffering in a nearby chamber. The stark contrast between the father’s reckless joy and the mother’s despair serves to establish their dysfunctional dynamic. A significant moment occurs when Jeoffrey first meets Klorinda unknowingly, leading to comedic and tumultuous interactions that hint at their volatile relationship as the plot unfolds. The narrative hints at Klorinda's strong will and spirited nature, foreshadowing the conflicts and challenges she will face growing up in such a complex household.
