Text file produced by Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders HTML file produced by David Widger "There & Back" by George MacDonald is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Sir Wilton Lestrange, a baronet who has married a woman of unknown origins, Lady Lestrange, and explores their relationship and the complexities surrounding their family life, especially with their child, Richard Lestrange. The narrative delves into themes of love, regret, and the consequences of familial connections, particularly focusing on the contrasting characters within this family dynamic. At the start of the book, the circumstances surrounding Sir Wilton and Lady Lestrange's marriage are presented through the lens of societal judgment and personal disappointment. Sir Wilton displays a profound disconnection from his wife and their newborn child, revealing his disdain for parenthood and the idea of legacy. As Lady Lestrange dies shortly after childbirth, the nurse Jane Tuke kidnaps the child to protect him from the disdainful reception he might face from his father and stepmother. The opening chapters highlight the tension between familial obligation and social expectation, as well as the struggles of characters who love fiercely yet face deep societal scorn.
