Summary | "Was It Right to Forgive? A Domestic Romance" by Amelia E. Barr is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Peter Van Hoosen, a skilled stone builder influenced by his Dutch Calvinist upbringing, and his beloved daughter Adriana. The narrative explores themes of family, responsibilities, and the emotional complexities of social relationships as Adriana navigates her education, friendships, and budding romance while facing personal challenges. The opening of the novel introduces Peter and his deep bond with his daughter Adriana, emphasizing his pride in her academic achievements and beauty. As Peter encourages Adriana’s aspirations for higher education, the narrative hints at the changing dynamics between the two, especially with their interactions with the wealthy Filmer family. As Adriana develops feelings for Harry Filmer, the story presents intricate social tensions around class and the struggle between personal desires and societal expectations.
