Misunderstood by Florence Montgomery
"Misunderstood" by Florence Montgomery is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around two young brothers, Humphrey and Miles Duncombe, who navigate the complexities of childhood within the backdrop of their home at Wareham Abbey. Through their adventures, the book explores themes of childhood innocence, the misunderstandings that arise in familial relationships, and the longing for parental attention after the loss of their mother. At the start ofthe novel, the brothers are waiting eagerly for their father’s return, while reflecting on the rainy weather that has thwarted their plans to meet him. Each brother has a distinctive personality; Humphrey is adventurous and bold, often leading Miles into mischief, while Miles is more timid and sensitive. They interact with their caretakers and ponder their late mother, revealing glimpses of their affection and the void her absence has left in their lives. As they await their father’s arrival, their innocent conversations and imaginative play highlight the joys and trials of childhood, setting the tone for their adventures ahead.
