Summary "Princess" by M. G. McClelland is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins with the Smith family, particularly focusing on General Percival Smith and his children, who face discontent regarding their relocation from New York to Virginia. Central characters include the rebellious daughters, Norma and Blanche, their ailing brother Warner, and the well-meaning but overwhelmed mother, who strives to maintain family harmony amidst the turmoil surrounding the move. The opening of the book introduces the Smith family as they react to the news of their impending move to Virginia, which elicits a strong turmoil of emotions, especially from the young ladies. The general, motivated by his son's health needs, seeks to provide a fresh start in a pastoral setting, while the girls envision a life of discomfort and monotony. The narrative quickly establishes tensions within the family dynamic, with Mrs. Smith caught between her children's disappointment and her husband's determination, showcasing the complexities of familial obligations and individual desires. The tone is both atmospheric and character-driven, plunging the reader into the societal expectations and personal struggles of the time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
