| Summary | "Wanda, Vol. 2 (of 3)" by Ouida is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around Wanda von Szalras, a noblewoman, and her interactions with the world around her, exploring themes of duty, love, and societal expectations against the backdrop of political and personal turmoil. The book delves into Wanda's complex feelings towards her responsibilities, her royal connections, and her relationship with the Marquis de Sabran, all while society faces the unrest of war. The opening portion of the novel introduces the aftermath of Wanda's return to her family estate, Hohenszalras, where she grapples with her sense of isolation and the responsibilities of her status. As she interacts with her aunt, the Princess, and reflects on recent events, including political tensions and the looming threat of war, Wanda decides to return to Vienna for a time, seeking to re-enter society. This period brings her into contact with the dynamics of court life, yet she simultaneously feels a pull towards the quietude of home. The narrative explores her emotional struggles, marked by longing and regret, particularly regarding Sabran, whose fate remains uncertain as war approaches, culminating in a current of anxiety that permeates her thoughts.
