| Summary |
"The Ffolliots of Redmarley" by L. Allen Harker is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story seems to centre around family dynamics, particularly focusing on the Gallup family and their unexpected connections to the Ffolliot family of Redmarley Manor. The narrative showcases themes of aspirations, political ambitions, and societal roles in the context of early 20th century England. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Mr. Abel Gallup and his wife, who name their baby son Eloquent, despite the mother's doubts about the name's implications. As Eloquent grows, he becomes a focal point for his father's political dreams, absorbing the ideals and values of the political figures idolized by Mr. Gallup. The narrative presents a detailed portrayal of Eloquent's early childhood, marked by his father's ambitions and the influence of the nearby Ffolliots. We witness Eloquent navigating his way through his familial environment, the expectations placed on him, and the budding awareness of a neighborly girl named Mary Ffolliot, ultimately leading to an intertwined fate between the two families.
