| Summary | "Who Was Lost and Is Found: A Novel" by Mrs. Oliphant is a fictional narrative written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Mrs. James Ogilvy, a respected villager in Eskholm, as she navigates the quietude of her life while grappling with the absence of her son, Robert, who left many years ago under mysterious circumstances. The novel delves into themes of motherhood, longing, and the complexities of familial relationships, particularly focusing on Mrs. Ogilvy's unwavering hope and her mental and emotional landscape as she waits for her son's return. The opening of the novel introduces Mrs. Ogilvy as a kind and modest woman, deeply rooted in her daily routines and the rhythms of her village life. As she goes about her solitary tasks, the narrative paints an intimate portrait of her surroundings and the quiet strength she exhibits, despite the weight of her unresolved grief regarding her son's disappearance. The interplay with her servant, Janet, and her reflections on the nature of life in their rural community set the tone for the novel. The stark contrast of her serene existence with the anxiety and anticipation of Robert’s potential return adds depth to the narrative. As the story begins to unfold, there is a palpable tension as Mrs. Ogilvy’s memories and hopes intertwine, foretelling that Robert's eventual reappearance will bring both profound joy and unexpected complexities.
