The Three Brothers; Complete by Mrs. Oliphant
"The Three Brothers; Complete" by Mrs. Oliphant is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story explores the lives of the three Renton brothers, who are grappling with the complexities of their familial heritage and the unexpected consequences of their father's will that challenges their upbringing. As they navigate their struggles and destinies shaped by their wealthy but demanding lineage, characters like Ben, the eldest son, grapple with pride,
responsibility, and the pressures of their father's expectations. At the start of the book, the narrative introduces Mr. Renton, the father, who reflects on his life and his relationship with his sons just before his death. The brothers—Ben, Laurie, and Frank—are depicted in a moment of familial tension as they confront their father’s demise and the shocking stipulations of his will, which requires them to struggle and develop their own identities separate from their privileged upbringing. With themes of duty, ambition, and the quest for personal agency, the opening chapters set a dramatic stage for the unfolding journeys of the brothers as they leave behind the comforts of their childhood home to carve their paths in the world.
