"Carità" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century.

Their lives start to unravel as Annie struggles with her health, and themes of love, motherhood, and existential reflections begin to emerge. The opening of the novel introduces the Beresfords, highlighting their comfortable domestic life and their affection for one another.
