| Summary | "Rhoda Fleming — Volume 1" by George Meredith is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story introduces the Kentish family, particularly focusing on the two sisters, Rhoda and Dahlia, as they navigate their lives within the constraints imposed by their rural upbringing, family dynamics, and societal expectations. The narrative offers a rich tapestry of character exploration and familial relationships, set against the backdrop of rural Kent. The beginning of the novel paints a vivid picture of the Fleming family, specifically revolving around the characters of Mrs. Fleming, a passionate gardener, and her husband, a struggling farmer. The narrative details their contrasting approaches to parenting, particularly regarding their daughters, Rhoda and Dahlia, who strive for a life beyond their rural existence. As they dream of the vibrant life of London, the girls grapple with their own identities and aspirations, influenced by their family's evident struggles, societal gossip, and personal ambitions. Through a tapestry of social interactions and reflections on class and ambition, the opening chapters set a compelling stage for the sisters' journey and the challenges they will face.
