** "The Squire of Sandal-Side: A Pastoral Romance" by Amelia E. Barr is a tale set in the late 1800s that centers on the Sandal family and its traditions, especially the squire and his daughters, Charlotte and Sophia. The girls navigate what love means, what their family expects of them, and their purpose where they live, with the story looking at duty, family history, and changes coming to their land. The readers are dropped into Seat-Sandal, a beautiful, old region full of Sandal family stories. The location and its people come alive, with the bond between the squire and his daughters in plain sight. Charlotte loves nature and fishing, but her sister Sophia spends more time in her own thoughts. Expect sibling issues, pressure from the outside world, and old history to play a big role as the story moves forward, setting the stage for arguments and love connections to come. **
