Professor Francis Wallace hoped his quiet retirement wouldn't be disturbed when granddaughter Adelaide moved into his Manhattan apartment. But her work tracking down a missing Scottish immigrant reminds Francis of his own childhood struggles. When a conceited upstart begins to romantically pursue Adelaide, Francis turns to the literary classics he once taught, hoping that Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, George Eliot and Thomas Hardy, can guide him through a changing world.
Unexpected Fortune is a thoughtful exploration of family history and dynamics and the role of literature in our lives. Despite their cultural and generational differences, Francis and Adelaide develop a unique friendship, offering contrasting perspectives on love, duty, and integrity.
