Summary

"Tracy Park: A Novel" by Mary Jane Holmes is a nineteenth-century fiction that pulls back the curtain on the opulent life of Frank Tracy and his family. The tranquility of Tracy Park is shattered by a telegram; Arthur Tracy, Frank’s brother, is on his way home after living in Europe for many years. Frank, who has enjoyed a life of luxury, now faces the prospect of his life being turned upside down with the return of Arthur. Set against a backdrop of social expectations, a cast of characters – including Frank’s wife, Dolly, and a young boy named Harold – are swept up in the family drama, threatening to unearth secrets and challenge the established order within the family.
