Summary "Barford Abbey, a Novel: In a Series of Letters" by Mrs. Gunning is a fictional work written in the late 18th century. The novel unfolds through a series of letters that reveal the lives and emotions of its characters, primarily focusing on Lady Mary Sutton and her adopted daughter, Miss Warley. The correspondence offers insights into themes of loss, affection, social standing, and the struggles of the human heart. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Lady Mary Sutton, who writes a heartfelt letter to her friend Miss Warley, expressing her grief over the loss of a mutual acquaintance while urging her to embrace hope. Mary reassures Miss Warley of her unwavering love and proposes that she should travel with friends to France for a change of scenery. In response, Miss Warley writes from Barford Abbey, where she reflects on her newfound status as an adopted daughter of Lady Mary and shares her melancholic thoughts about her past. The opening letters set the stage for a rich exploration of emotions, familial ties, and the societal constraints of the time, hinting at the complex dynamics that will unfold between the characters.
