Summary "The Prodigal Son" by Hall Caine is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the lives of two young men, Magnus and Oscar, who are brothers with contrasting personalities and aspirations. The backdrop of Iceland adds a unique flavor to the narrative, exploring themes of love, duty, and societal expectations, particularly as they pertain to marriage and family obligations. The opening of the novel introduces us to Thora Neilsen, the daughter of a prominent merchant in Iceland, who eagerly prepares for an annual sheep-gathering festival. As she interacts with her doting Aunt Margret, we gain insights into her relationships, particularly with Magnus, whom she is expected to marry, and Oscar, Magnus' charming younger brother who has just returned from studying abroad. Their conversations hint at a deeper love between Thora and Oscar, uncovering tensions related to her engagement to Magnus. The dynamic between the siblings and Thora sets the stage for an unfolding drama of romantic entanglements and personal choices as societal and familial pressures loom large.
