Doctor Hathern's Daughters: A Story of Virginia, in Four Parts is a novel written by Mary Jane Holmes and published in 1895. The book is set in Virginia and follows the lives of the Hathern family, who are prominent members of society. The story is divided into four parts, each focusing on a different daughter of Doctor Hathern.The first part of the book introduces the reader to the family and sets the stage for the rest of the story. The second part focuses on the eldest daughter, Margaret, who is determined to marry for love rather than money or social status. The third part follows the second daughter, Edith, who is forced to choose between her love for a poor artist and her duty to her family. The final part of the book centers around the youngest daughter, Mildred, who must navigate her way through a difficult marriage and a scandalous affair.Throughout the book, Holmes explores themes of love, duty, and societal expectations. She also provides a detailed look at life in Virginia during the late 19th century, including the social norms and expectations of the time.
