Easy to read. "The Old Stanfield House; or, The Sin of Covetousness" by Lucy Ellen Guernsey is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Calista Stanfield, a young girl facing the challenges of her family legacy and the dynamics of her relationships, particularly with her Aunt Priscilla, who has inherited the estate after General Stanfield's death. The narrative explores themes of ambition, societal expectations, and the dichotomy of wealth and moral integrity. The opening portion of the novel introduces Calista as she stands at the gate of the dilapidated Stanfield house, reflecting on its neglected state and her own position within the family. As she grapples with feelings of abandonment and a desire for acceptance, we learn about her father Richard's troubled past and the stern authority of her Aunt Priscilla. Calista’s conversations reveal her longing for warmth and belonging, as well as her struggles with financial limitations that inhibit her aspirations. The groundwork is laid for a deeper exploration of her quest for identity, the influence of wealth, and the complexities of her familial relationships.
