"The Arbiter: A Novel" by Lady Florence Eveleen Eleanore Olliffe Bell is a story set in the early 1900s that looks at the Gore family. Lady Gore, along with her husband Sir William, and their daughter Rachel, must deal with love, family problems, and what society expects of them. The book talks about being devoted, doing what you're supposed to do, and trying to achieve your goals when society is holding you back. Early on, Lady Gore and Miss Martin talk about whether a wife should show her husband affection, and Lady Gore thinks about what it means to be a wife and mother, especially because she's sick. The story then focuses on Rachel, who has to choose between her family duties and her feelings for Francis Rendel. Their relationships show both the good and the bad of family connections and how society can make things difficult.
