Summary "Simon Called Peter" by Robert Keable is a novel written during the early 20th century, specifically post-World War I. The narrative explores themes of love, morality, and the human experience in the context of the chaos and devastation brought on by war, particularly focusing on the contrast between the ideals of compassion and the grim realities faced by soldiers and clergy. At the center of the story is Peter Graham, an idealistic curate who finds himself compelled to serve as a chaplain during the war, and his romantic involvement with Hilda Lessing, whose views on war and duty collide with Peter's emerging sense of purpose. At the start of the novel, Peter is depicted walking through a beautiful London on a Sunday morning, though he is preoccupied with thoughts about an impending war, which serves as foreshadowing of the conflict that will develop throughout the story. He meets Hilda Lessing, who displays an air of privilege and uncertainty about the realities of war, juxtaposing Peter's growing urgency and sense of responsibility. As they discuss the possibility of war, Peter's concerns mount, while their conversation reveals tensions surrounding social expectations, love, and duty. The opening sets a poignant tone that encapsulates the struggle between personal desires and the harsh truths of a world at war, drawing readers in with its emotional depth and complex character dynamics.
