| Summary | "For the Allinson Honor" by Harold Bindloss is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around Andrew Allinson, a man torn between family expectations and his personal sense of honor, as well as his relationships with Clare Olcott, a young woman in distress due to her husband’s absence, and the other members of the Allinson family. The story delves into themes of duty, reputation, and the quest for identity set against a backdrop of rural life and the early days of mining ventures. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Clare Olcott, who is unsettled and in need of assistance while her husband serves in West Africa. She is aided by Andrew Allinson, an acquaintance of her husband from their time in the Boer War. Clare's vulnerable situation and Andrew's growing concern for her wellbeing set the stage for the unfolding drama. The narrative also juggles the dynamics of the Allinson family, exploring their pride and expectations, particularly concerning Andrew’s perceived lack of ambition and his emerging relationship with Clare, which sparks gossip and scrutiny. The opening portion effectively establishes the characters and the social tensions that will drive the plot forward. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
