| Summary |
"Shenstonen rouva" by Florence L. Barclay is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to revolve around lady Ingleby, who is depicted as a thoughtful and emotional character, grappling with feelings of loneliness and anxiety over her husband, Mikael, who is at war. The book sets a scene filled with rich descriptions of nature, a sense of impending winter, and the emotional turmoil faced by lady Ingleby, along with her connection to her little dog, Petter. At the start of the narrative, we find lady Ingleby pacing on her balcony, wrapped in her fur coat and listening to the sounds of autumn. Her worries about Mikael's well-being are palpable, as she engages in light banter with her dog and reminisces about their life together. The arrival of a telegram announces a potential visit from Dr. Deryck Brand, which brings her some relief. The opening chapters depict the anxiety and solitude lady Ingleby faces, along with her relationship with her husband and the comfort she seeks in her surroundings and the arrival of friends. The story unfolds against a backdrop of war, emphasizing the emotional stakes and character dynamics that will likely play a significant role in the plot ahead.
