The Pillars of the House is a novel written by Charlotte M. Yonge, and the first volume in a series of two. It was first published in 1873 and is set in mid-19th century England. The book is a family saga that follows the lives of the Morley family, who live in the fictional town of St. Norbert's. The story revolves around the Morley family, which is headed by the widowed Lady Morley, who is struggling to raise her six children. The eldest son, Richard, is studying at Oxford, while the two younger sons are still in school. The three daughters, Ethel, Gertrude, and Blanche, are growing up and beginning to make their way in the world. The novel explores the themes of family, love, and duty, as the Morleys face various challenges and struggles. The family's finances are precarious, and Lady Morley must navigate the social and economic pressures of her position. Meanwhile, the children must navigate their own paths, with Richard facing academic and personal challenges, Ethel falling in love with a young curate, and Gertrude struggling with her own desires and expectations. The Pillars of the House is a classic Victorian novel, with a focus on family values and the struggles of everyday life. It is a richly detailed and engaging story that offers a glimpse into the lives of a middle-class family in 19th century England.There are limits to human endurance, and Tom and I have overpassed each other's. I don't blame him, poor man; he wanted raw material to serve as an importer of hides and tallow, but you, the genuine article, were bespoken, and my father was not in a state for the pleading of personal predilections.'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
