| Summary | "The Price of Love" by Arnold Bennett is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around Rachel Louisa Fleckring, a young girl working as a companion to the elderly Mrs. Maldon, who exudes charm and a sense of old-world elegance. As the narrative unfolds, the intricacies of their relationship and the hidden dynamics of their social circle come to the forefront, implicating themes of love, loyalty, and financial intrigue. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the bustling environment of Mrs. Maldon's sitting room, where Rachel dutifully prepares for an evening routine amid the shadows of domestic life. Their conversation and actions reveal a delicate balance between respect and the growing familiarity between the two women. Soon, news of a series of burglaries permeates their peaceful evening, sparking a sense of anxiety in both as they entertain the looming threat of danger. The arrival of Councillor Batchgrew adds a layer of tension, as his domineering presence and relationship with Mrs. Maldon raise questions about trust and dependence. As they navigate their evening plans and unspoken fears, their lives become interwoven in ways that promise unfolding drama and emotional complexity. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
