The Late Miss Hollingford by Rosa M. Gilbert
"The Late Miss Hollingford" by Rosa M. Gilbert is a novel likely written in the mid-19th century. The story follows the life of Margery Dacre, a young woman who, after the death of her parents, becomes the ward of Mrs. Hollingford, an old family friend. As Margery adjusts to her new life in the country, she navigates the complexities of social class, friendship, and love while mingling with characters like John Hollingfordand Rachel Leonard, whose intertwined pasts loom over their present. At the start of the novel, the narrator offers a glimpse into her youthful arrogance and sheltered life, reflecting on her transition from school to Hillsbro' Farm. She recalls fond memories of her parents, their untimely death, and the shift in her world as she is taken in by Mrs. Hollingford. Margery's arrival at the farm marks the beginning of her emotional journey as she grapples with her identity, relationships, and the stark contrast between her privileged upbringing and the realities of her new home. The opening chapters deftly establish settings and introduce key characters, hinting at the inner turmoil and romantic entanglements that will unfold throughout the narrative.
