Summary: "Ellen Levis: A Novel" by Elsie Singmaster is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the lives of siblings Ellen and Matthew Levis, focusing on their struggles with familial expectations, religious beliefs, and personal aspirations. The novel begins with a poignant blend of their childhood experiences and the emotional weight of societal pressures that shape their identities. At the start of the novel, the narrative unfolds around the character of Stephen Lanfair, who grapples with the consequences of a momentary lapse in judgment during his time at medical school, leading him to reconsider his aspirations. Meanwhile, Ellen Levis finds herself ensnared between the traditional beliefs of her grandfather and her burgeoning independence. The opening chapters depict a meeting that emphasizes religious conformity while Ellen's internal conflict becomes apparent, as her brother embraces their family's faith. In a vivid portrayal of the family dynamics, themes of love, responsibility, and the quest for individual freedom emerge, setting the stage for Ellen's journey of self-discovery.
