Summary | "The Heart of a Mystery" by T. W. Speight is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work introduces readers to the austere and mysterious atmosphere surrounding the Pengarvon sisters, particularly Miss Barbara Pengarvon, who resides in the isolated Broome Hall. The story appears to center on themes of family honor, secrets, and societal expectations, with a focus on the tumultuous events surrounding the return of the estranged sister, Isabel. At the start of the narrative, the reader finds Miss Barbara engrossed in needlework during a bleak December evening at Broome Hall, setting the scene's dark tone. As she works alone, a knock at the door disrupts her solitude, revealing her long-lost sister, Isabel, who begs for shelter after years of disgrace. Despite Isabel's desperate plea, Miss Barbara cruelly shuts her out, highlighting the estrangement and unyielding pride of the Pengarvon family. The prologue and opening chapters establish a gripping context that hints at the unfolding drama and intertwined fates, leaving readers eager to uncover the mystery of the family dynamics, Isabel's fate, and the consequences of long-held grudges.
