| Summary | "Love and Lucy" by Maurice Hewlett is a romantic novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers on Lucy Meade and her husband, James Adolphus Macartney, exploring the complexities of their marriage and the underlying desires that coexist within their seemingly conventional lives. The book delves into themes of love, identity, and the contrast between appearance and reality, suggesting that the depth of human emotion often remains hidden beneath the surface of societal expectations. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the Macartney family, particularly the dynamics within their household. Lucy is depicted as a tender and pretty woman, while James is characterized as a successful yet emotionally remote solicitor, maintaining an air of detached authority. As the chapter unfolds, we see the couple preparing for a dinner party, where guests, including their witty son Lancelot and potential suitor Francis Lingen, will interact, setting the stage for the intricate relationships and emotional tensions that define the narrative. The atmosphere is a blend of humor and introspection, hinting at the deeper struggles Lucy faces within her marriage and the romantic undertones that may yet complicate their lives.
