Summary: "Mary Wollaston" by Henry Kitchell Webster is a novel written in the early 20th century, likely around the time of World War I. The story revolves around the Wollaston family, primarily focusing on the complex relationships between the main characters, including Miss Lucile Wollaston, her brother Doctor John Wollaston, and John's wife, Paula. As tensions arise in their interpersonal dynamics, the narrative explores themes of love, ambition, and familial obligation against the backdrop of societal changes and challenges. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to the Wollaston family during a morning breakfast in March 1919. Miss Lucile is trying to maintain her composure while dealing with her brother, Doctor John, who appears jovial and distracted after a night of work as a surgeon. A letter from John's daughter, Mary, stirs latent emotions regarding their tumultuous relationship. As Lucile recalls the backstory, we learn about John's contentious relationship with Mary after a disagreement about her romantic choices that led to her seeking independence through war work in New York. Meanwhile, John's new marriage to Paula introduces a complicated layer to the family structure, where Lucile grapples with her feelings about Paula's role and the changes in her brother. The characters are vividly drawn, hinting at deeper emotional conflicts and unspoken tensions that will influence the narrative as it unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
