Summary "Beyond the City" by Arthur Conan Doyle is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story is set in a suburban district and follows two elderly ladies observing their new neighbors, particularly focusing on the unconventional character of Mrs. Westmacott, who is moving into number three. The book captures the themes of social change, particularly concerning women's roles in society, and introduces an engaging cast of characters who will interact and evolve throughout the narrative. The opening of "Beyond the City" presents the curious and comical dynamic between the two old maids, Miss Bertha and Miss Monica Williams, who peer from their window at the new arrivals. As the young tenants of the house begin settling in, including the strong-willed Mrs. Westmacott and her nephew Charles, the ladies are both bewildered and entertained by their unconventional behavior and the unusual items being carried into the house. This whimsical yet insightful introduction sets the stage for exploring the relationships and societal shifts that occur as the characters engage with one another and confront their own values and expectations in a changing world.
