The Doctor's Family
1863
The Doctor's Family, published in 1863 by Mrs. Oliphant, is a novel set in the fictional town of Carlingford. It follows Dr. Edward Rider, a young physician striving to establish his practice amidst societal challenges and familial obligations. The return of his indolent brother, Fred, complicates his life, leading to moral dilemmas and tensions that explore themes of duty and personal sacrifice. This work is notable as the third in a series of seven stories set in Carlingford, each capable of standing alone.

“How delicious this stillness should have been, this consciousness of having his house to himself, and nobody to interrupt his brief repose! But somehow it appears that human nature takes best with not having its wishes granted.””
— Mrs. Oliphant
