Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Aunt Anne, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Mrs. W. K. Clifford is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the young couple Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hibbert, who have just begun their married life when Aunt Anne unexpectedly arrives during their holiday in Brighton. This encounter introduces a mix of family dynamics and the contrasting lifestyles of the Hibberts and Aunt Anne as the narrative unfolds. At the start of the book, the Hibberts are enjoying a tender moment on the pier, cherishing their newfound happiness. However, their idyllic day is interrupted by the arrival of Aunt Anne, who has come to visit her nephew and meets his wife for the first time. As Aunt Anne insists on taking them to meet her husband despite their previous plans, readers see the interplay between familial obligation and the couple's desire for independence. The opening portrays Aunt Anne as a complex character, combining warmth and authority, and the Hibberts as a couple trying to navigate the joys and inconveniences of family life.
