Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Hubert's Wife" by Minnie Mary Lee is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins in a post-funeral setting, exploring themes of love, loss, and the complexities of relationships within a rural Virginian plantation. At its core, the narrative follows Duncan Lisle, who grapples with the death of his wife, Ellice, and the impact of this loss on him and his young son, Hubert. The opening of the book presents an emotional atmosphere filled with grief as Duncan contemplates his life without Ellice. The sentiments are echoed by the household staff, who share their own suspicions and frustrations regarding a woman named Rusha Rush, who appears to be encroaching upon their once-stable lives. As Duncan finds solace in memories of his lost wife, he also faces the unsettling reality of shaping a future for both himself and Hubert amid the changes that life continues to present. The stage is set for a tale of personal and social upheaval as the characters navigate their intertwined fates against the backdrop of death and potential new beginnings.
