Summary "Bella Donna" by Robert Hichens is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Doctor Meyer Isaacson, a Jewish physician who has quickly risen to success and the social elite in London. Our initial glimpse into his life highlights his keen observations and his interactions with various patients, particularly a captivating woman named Mrs. Chepstow, whose past as a beauty and her struggles with aging pique Isaacson's interest as the narrative unfolds. The opening of the novel introduces Doctor Isaacson as he reflects on the lives of his patients, feeling a mixture of admiration and fatigue as he prepares for a day of consultations. He is particularly drawn to the name of his last appointment, Mrs. Chepstow, a woman whose beauty has faded but who still maintains an alluring presence, now imbued with complexity and hints of desperation. Through their conversation, the themes of physical health versus emotional turmoil begin to emerge, showcasing Mrs. Chepstow's struggle with aging and her longing for vitality, which adds layers to both her character and the unfolding narrative. The nuanced dynamic between the doctor and his patients sets the stage for deeper explorations of societal expectations, personal identity, and the search for fulfillment.
