""Our New Mistress: Or Changes At Brookfield Earl"" is a novel written by Charlotte Mary Yonge in 1888. The story revolves around the estate of Brookfield Earl, which has been passed down through generations of the same family. However, when the last Earl dies without an heir, the estate falls into the hands of a distant relative, Miss Susan Brooke. Miss Brooke, who is a strong-willed and independent woman, moves to Brookfield Earl and takes charge of the estate. She faces many challenges as she tries to modernize and improve the estate, which has been neglected for many years. She also has to deal with the resistance of the old servants and the local community, who are not used to having a woman in charge. As Miss Brooke struggles to make changes at Brookfield Earl, she also has to navigate the complex relationships and politics of the local gentry. She finds herself drawn to the charming and handsome Mr. Osmond, who is a close friend of the former Earl. However, she also has to deal with the jealousy and scheming of Mrs. Maberley, a wealthy and influential neighbor who has her eye on Mr. Osmond. ""Our New Mistress: Or Changes At Brookfield Earl"" is a fascinating portrayal of Victorian society, with its rigid class distinctions and gender roles.
