Summary "Christina Alberta’s Father" by H. G. Wells is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book tells the story of Albert Edward Preemby, a retired laundryman and widower, who embarks on a series of remarkable experiences in contemporary London following the death of his wife. The narrative not only focuses on Preemby but also introduces his daughter, Christina Alberta, revealing insights into their lives as they navigate personal growth, relationships, and the challenges of their changing environment. The opening of the book sets the stage by depicting Mr. Preemby's life and background, including the unconventional way he got into the laundry business through his marriage to the capable Miss Hossett. As he becomes a widower, we learn of his reflective, dreamy nature and his struggles with the constraints of his past life while hinting at his unwillingness to confront reality head-on. The first chapter also hints at the budding relationship between Preemby and his future wife, laying the groundwork for how both Mr. Preemby and Christina Alberta will influence each other's destinies amid the complexities of early 20th-century life. As Preemby grapples with his romantic past and his new responsibilities as a father, the reader glimpses the interplay of familial bonds and individual aspirations, suggesting a rich exploration of character development throughout the novel.
