520 _a"A Rich Man's Relatives (Vol. 1 of 3)" by Robert Cleland is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in Montreal and introduces us to the lives of various characters connected to a wealthy man, exploring themes of family dynamics, societal expectations, and personal conflicts. The narrative seems to revolve around the interactions and moral dilemmas faced by members of the Herkimer family and their relations with those of different social standings, including their slaves. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Miss Judith Herkimer, a stern and ascetic middle-aged woman, and her sister Susan, who are discussing their brother Gerald's views on slavery, indicative of the family's complex attitudes toward the subject. The tension arises as Judith is concerned about the ethics of slavery embodied in their relationship with their servant, Cato. Meanwhile, Gerald, who is described as a wealthy plantation owner suffering from ill health, is depicted as irritated by his sisters' interference, highlighting a clash between familial duty and individual morality. As the story unfolds, it hints at conflicting desires and secrets within the family that may challenge their bonds and societal norms. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
