"The Three Brothers; vol. 1/3" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the three sons of Mr. Renton, exploring their family dynamics and their varying paths in life, particularly as they navigate the challenges posed by their father's sudden death and the unexpected consequences of his will. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Mr. Renton and his family. Despite
their wealthy background, there is tension regarding how the sons will fare in the world once their father passes. As Mr. Renton dies, his distant relationship with his sons is revealed, particularly highlighted by their unconventional upbringing. The opening chapters delve into Mr. Renton’s reflections on raising his sons, his regrets, and the implications of his final wishes for them, which require them to rely on themselves for survival over the next seven years while they await the distribution of his estate. Each son is portrayed distinctly - Ben, the eldest, grapples with the burden of expectations and pride; Laurie battles with apathy and the desire to pursue art; and Frank, the youngest, is more carefree, showcasing the diverse ways they react to their newfound circumstances following their father's death.
