Title Prosperity's child
Original Publication United Kingdom: The Religious Tract Society, 1910.
Summary "Prosperity's Child" by Eleanora H. Stooke is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Wyndham family, particularly focusing on the eldest daughter, Ruth, who often finds herself burdened with the responsibilities of managing the household amid the family's financial struggles. The opening chapter sets the scene during a foggy November day in London, introducing us to the family dynamic and the warmth of their interactions, despite their challenges. At the start of the narrative, we witness a cozy family environment in their modest home, highlighting the love and care shared among the Wyndhams. Ruth is depicted as a dedicated and nurturing figure, deeply concerned about her father’s health issues and the family's financial state, which frustrates her aspirations for a better future. As their father, Mr. Wyndham, connects with an old friend, Dr. Reed, the prospect of a change arises for Ruth when Dr. Reed offers the chance for one of the daughters to attend a better school, setting the stage for how their fates may intertwine with those of the more affluent Reed family. The initial chapters present themes of familial loyalty, the desire for upward mobility, and the contrast between wealth and poverty through the lens of the two families.
