The Duke's Children by Anthony Trollope
In this Victorian-era novel, a widowed duke faces the challenges of parenthood alone, struggling with the rebellious paths of his three adult children. The duke's son defies his father's wishes by pursuing a politically and socially unsuitable marriage, while his daughters also seek love and happiness in ways that clash with their father's conservative values. The narrative delves into themes of family duty, generational conflict, and the evolving social mores of the time, as the duke learns to reconcile his own strict principles with his children's desires for independence and fulfillment.
