"Far Above Rubies" by Mrs. J. H. Riddell is a multi-volume novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds at Berrie Down, centering around the lives of the Dudley family and their interactions with various characters, particularly Mr. Black, a promoter whose schemes have introduced both excitement and tension. The narrative explores themes of domestic life, ambition, love, and the impact of secrets on relationships, with a focus on Heather
Dudley and her husband, Arthur. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a lively breakfast scene at the Dudley home, where Miss Hope engages in a witty exchange with Mr. Black about investments, revealing her cleverness and his shrewdness. Meanwhile, Heather is preoccupied with the wellbeing of her family, particularly concerned with Arthur's new business ventures and the potential risks they pose. The narrative transitions to highlight the dynamics of the family and their guests as they navigate their personal aspirations and conflicts, setting the stage for the unfolding drama that intertwines their lives with Mr. Black's ambitious plans and the tension it brings into their domestic sphere.
