Summary "Kingsworth; or, The Aim of a Life" by Christabel R. Coleridge is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of family legacy, social standing, and personal responsibility through the lens of the Kingsworth family. The story revolves around brothers George and James Kingsworth, their respective fortunes, and the implications of their actions on the family estate. At the start of the narrative, the setting is established around the old-fashioned Kingsworth House, which carries the weight of family legacy and past misfortunes. We are introduced to the brothers, their contrasting personalities, and the familial tensions stemming from their different paths in life. George appears to be more responsible and successful, while James is grappling with past mistakes and desires for redemption. Their family dynamics take a tumultuous turn when James secretly marries, setting off a series of events that deeply affect the family's standing as they navigate themes of inheritance, honor, and the consequences of choices made in the past.
