Summary "Alice; or, the Mysteries — Complete" by Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton is a novel likely written during the mid-19th century, weaving themes of romance, societal expectations, and personal growth. The story unfolds in a tranquil Devonshire cottage where Lady Vargrave and her daughter Evelyn navigate the complexities of love, duty, and the influence of societal pressures, especially regarding Evelyn's engagement to Lord Vargrave. The opening portion establishes a serene yet contemplative atmosphere, highlighting the relationship between Lady Vargrave and Mrs. Leslie, who discuss the implications of Evelyn's impending marriage and her lack of exposure to the wider world. As the narrative shifts focus to Evelyn, we see her joyful innocence contrasted with an underlying melancholy regarding her mother's past and their relationship. The introduction of Mr. Aubrey, the kind curate, further enriches the narrative by adding depth to Evelyn's character as she grapples with her feelings about love and obligation. This opening sets the stage for themes of emotional struggle and the quest for personal identity against societal expectations, making it an intriguing read for those interested in Victorian-era literature and character-driven stories.
