| Summary | "Witness for the Defence" by A. E. W. Mason is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around Henry Thresk, a young barrister grappling with complexities of ambition, family expectations, and romantic entanglements amidst the backdrop of the British legal system. The opening of the novel introduces us to Henry Thresk and his dynamic with his mother, Mrs. Thresk, who constantly reminds him of his dependence on the family. This sets off a spark of determination in Henry, leading him to pursue a career at the Bar. As he navigates his professional ambitions, he takes a holiday to Sussex, where he meets Stella Derrick, and their relationship becomes central to the narrative. Their interaction evokes a deep sense of attraction and emotional tension, hinting at the complicated relationship dynamics that will unfold throughout the story. As Thresk returns to his professional life, he is left to contemplate the impact of his past on his future, particularly in light of the potential rekindling of his feelings for Stella.
