Summary: "Ailsa Paige: A Novel" by Robert W. Chambers is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of a complex family dynamic and social issues in a time of impending war and personal turmoil. The narrative primarily revolves around Philip Ormond Berkley, a young man burdened by his family history and the repercussions of his mother's past decisions, as well as Ailsa Paige, a woman entangled in her own societal and emotional dilemmas. The opening of the novel introduces Philip Berkley as he confronts Colonel Arran, a key figure from his mother's past, seeking answers about his lineage and the tumultuous legacy that haunts him.
