| Summary | "Phemie Keller: a novel, vol. 2 of 3" by Mrs. J. H. Riddell is a fiction work written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around Phemie Keller, who is navigating her life as the wife of Captain Stondon at their estate, Marshlands, against the backdrop of social expectations and personal struggles. The narrative delves into themes of love, jealousy, and the complexities of human relationships, particularly as Phemie becomes increasingly aware of the dynamics between herself and her husband's heir, Basil Stondon. At the start of the novel, Phemie and Captain Stondon return to Marshlands after a long absence marked by tragic events. Phemie's initial gratitude for their home soon turns into a struggle for emotional fulfillment, as she grapples with her loneliness and sense of identity in a life overshadowed by her husband's desire for an heir. The introduction of Basil as the potential heir complicates her feelings, leading to an exploration of jealousy and desire as Phemie finds herself drawn to him, despite the moral implications of her feelings. The opening portion sets the stage for a dramatic interplay of love and betrayal, indicating an emotional journey fraught with tension as the characters confront their true desires.
