Summary "Concerning Isabel Carnaby" by Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in a quaint old town called Chayford and primarily revolves around the Seaton family, particularly the lives of siblings Paul and Joanna, as well as their interactions with Alice Martin and Edgar Ford. The narrative explores themes of love, ambition, societal expectations, and the complexities of human relationships through its characters, each navigating their own paths and struggles. The opening of the book introduces us to the Seaton family, particularly with emphasis on their parents, the Reverend Mark Seaton and his wife Ruth, as well as their children, Paul and Joanna. It paints a vivid picture of their upbringing influenced by Methodism and discusses the duality of their lives: Paul, ambitious and set on succeeding at Oxford, versus Joanna, who is more reflective and earnest about her duties and desires. The dynamics of their friendships, especially with Alice Martin—who harbors feelings for Paul—are also established early on, setting the stage for evolving relationships that intertwine ambition, unrequited love, and the expectations placed upon them by their families and society.
