Harding Kelly is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Margaret Woodford, a young woman who faces unexpected hardships after the financial collapse of her father's business leaves her penniless and forces her to leave her beloved family home. As she embarks on a new chapter of her life, she takes on the role of governess at Oaklands, where she must navigate the challenges of her spirited pupil, Ellice, and the complexities of her new surroundings.  The opening of the novel presents a poignant and emotional scene where Margaret experiences the devastating impact of her father's bank failure and subsequent illness, ultimately leading to his death. Left alone, she grapples with the loss of her family’s home and the daunting realities of her new life. The narrative swiftly shifts to her arrival at Oaklands, where she meets her new pupil, Ellice Medhurst, along with the complexities of her role as a governess. Initial struggles occur as Margaret attempts to assert her authority over the unruly child, setting the stage for a battle of wills that promises to be central to the unfolding story.
