"The Wizard's Son, Vol. 1 (of 3)" by Mrs. Oliphant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of Walter Methven, a young man in his early twenties who lives with his mother and a cousin in a small town. The opening chapters set the stage for a family dynamic filled with disappointment, pride, and unfulfilled potential as Walter struggles with the expectations placed upon him and the weight of his mother's aspirations for his future. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Walter and his strained relationship with his mother, Mrs. Methven, who is anxious about his future. Despite her sacrifices for him, Walter exhibits a careless attitude, failing to secure a place in society and leading a passive existence. The narrative delves into the emotional turmoil of both characters, highlighting Mrs. Methven's frustration over her son's indifference and Walter's internal conflict as he battles societal pressures and familial expectations. As the opening progresses, the arrival of Mr. Milnathort, a figure from Walter's family background, hints at a potential turning point in the story, suggesting that the mundane life he leads may be about to change dramatically.
