Summary "Of No Account" by Ruth Lamb is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Adam Livesey, a humble striker in a foundry, who grapples with the burdens of life, his strained relationship with his discontented wife Maggie, and the repercussions of his mother's influence on his upbringing. The novel explores themes of duty, family, and the quest for meaning amidst life's hardships. At the start of the book, we meet Adam Livesey, whose life has been marked by hardship and unfulfilled potential. He reflects on his mother's struggles and how her sorrowful demeanor affected his childhood, leaving him with a deep yearning for love and a sense of worthlessness. As he navigates his solitary life, burdened by the responsibility of caring for his growing family, the arrival of a new manager, Mr. Drummond, introduces the possibility of change. Through subtle connections with Mr. Drummond, Adam begins to hope for a brighter future and contemplates the chance of improving his life, despite his initial resistance to external influences. The opening establishes a poignant narrative of struggle and the faint glimmer of hope for transformation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
