Summary "A Rolling Stone" by B. M. Croker is a novel set in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the social dynamics and personal struggles of Lady Kesters, who is a clever and ambitious woman intertwined in the lives of her brother, Owen Wynyard, and their wealthy relatives. The narrative sets the stage for themes of class, ambition, and the quest for independence against a backdrop of British societal norms. The opening of the book introduces Lady Kesters in her opulent home, where she anxiously awaits a visitor. This scene quickly transitions to a deeper exploration of her background, revealing her as the once overlooked relative who marries into wealth, transforming her life. We also learn about her brother Owen, who has returned from South America after getting into trouble. Owen faces familial pressure to establish himself, and Lady Kesters endeavors to guide him towards a more respectable position by suggesting he become a chauffeur for two elderly women, an idea that elicits mixed reactions. The reader is drawn into the lives of these characters as they navigate societal expectations and familial obligations, setting up intrigue for their upcoming challenges.
