Summary "The Challoners" by E. F. Benson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Challoner family, focusing particularly on the experiences and perspectives of Helen and her brother Martin as they navigate their lives entangled with familial expectations, societal norms, and their own desires. The narrative hints at greater themes of duty, love, the conflict between individual aspirations and family obligations, as well as the delicate balance between artistic inclinations and moral responsibilities. The opening of the book introduces readers to Helen Challoner, who is enjoying a serene moment in the garden while reading "The Mill on the Floss," a choice that reflects her more liberal views compared to those of her strict father, the Reverend Sidney Challoner. This scene sets the foundation for the dynamic between the siblings, particularly highlighting Helen's frustration with her restricted life in a vicarage characterized by stringent moral expectations. As they discuss literature and their conflicting aspirations, their playful exchanges reveal deeper tensions within the family, particularly between Martin's artistic inclinations and their father's stern principles. The interaction also elicits hints about the father's struggle to balance discipline with love in a changing world, making it clear that this relationship will unfold as a pivotal element of the story.
