Summary "The Dalrymples" by Agnes Giberne is a fictional narrative penned in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of the Dalrymple family, particularly focusing on the relationships and challenges faced by the central character, Hermione, as well as her cousin Harvey Dalrymple, who returns after a long absence. The book introduces themes of love, family loyalty, and the impact of individual choices on those around them. The opening of the book sets a vivid scene in the English countryside with its characters establishing connections through dialogues that reveal their feelings and social dynamics. Harvey returns to his family's estate after eight years, prompting a mix of nostalgia and tension regarding the fate of Hermione and the family’s future. The old gardener’s reflections on Hermione as an “angel” establish her as a beloved figure within the community, creating a contrast with Harvey's nonchalant attitude towards his recent marriage. As family connections intertwine, underlying tensions emerge, particularly surrounding expectations and aspirations for Hermione's future, highlighting the emotional weight of Harvey’s unforeseen decisions and their ramifications within the Dalrymple household.
