"Where the Blue Begins" by Christopher Morley is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story centers around Gissing, a bachelor living comfortably in a suburban house, who navigates the complexities of life, happiness, and responsibility, all while being accompanied by his Japanese butler, Fuji. As Gissing enjoys his singlehood, he grapples with an underlying restlessness and the search for deeper meaning beyond his simple pleasures, leading to curious adventures and encounters. At the start of the novel, Gissing's life is defined by a mix of leisure and philosophical musings. He enjoys the quietness of his woodland home and the routines established with his butler, Fuji. However, he feels a nagging discontent that he cannot quite articulate, often drawn outside by the whispers of spring that make him long for something more. One night, while drawn by a mysterious whistling sound, he discovers three abandoned puppies and decides to take them in, which sets off a series of changes in his life. Gissing's initial joy in caring for the puppies clashes with the comedic disaster of domestic tasks, ultimately leading to a deeper exploration of what it means to care for others and to embrace the chaos of family life, as he contemplates his priorities and what his newfound responsibilities mean for his future.
