| Summary |
"Won at Last: or, Mrs. Briscoe's Nephews" by Agnes Giberne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a struggling family of nine, primarily focusing on the dynamics between the parents, their children, and a new young relative named Maimie Browne, who unexpectedly arrives at their doorstep. The family navigates financial difficulties while tackling the challenges of raising children with different personalities and aspirations. At the start of the book, we meet Cherry, a diligent and responsible sixteen-year-old, and her twin brother Cresswell, who emits a sense of entitlement. Their mother is burdened with managing their household on a limited income. The narrative quickly introduces tension surrounding financial constraints and the arrival of Maimie, who asserts herself into the family's life, despite the lack of communication from her stepfather. As the family grapples with their situation, themes of obligation, sacrifice, and love unfold, setting the stage for their joint journey through adversity and adjustment in the face of new challenges.
