| Summary | "Great Possessions" by Mrs. Wilfrid Ward is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Lady Rose Bright, who grapples with the aftermath of her husband Sir David Bright's death in battle and the surprising revelations that unfold from his will. The narrative explores themes of love, loyalty, and the societal expectations surrounding women of her time, delving into Lady Rose's emotional journey as she uncovers the complex truths about her marriage and the inheritance left behind. At the start of the novel, the audience is introduced to the poignant scene of Sir David's memorial service, where Lady Rose is left to navigate her grief and the unexpected implications of her husband's will. As she learns that the bulk of his fortune is bequeathed to another woman, Madame Danterre, Rose is forced to confront the reality of her marriage and the shadow of infidelity. Through conversations with her mother, Lady Charlton, and the family lawyer, the opening chapters set the stage for Rose's struggle between her idealistic views of marriage and the harsh truths about her husband's past, ultimately inviting readers to reflect on love, sacrifice, and the complexity of human relationships in the face of societal norms.
