Summary: "Marriage à la Mode" by Mrs. Humphry Ward is a novel written in the early 20th century. It explores complex themes of relationships, societal expectations, and the contrasts between American and British cultures. The story revolves around the character of Roger Barnes, a young Englishman, and Daphne Floyd, an American heiress, as they navigate the tensions of their differing backgrounds and personal ambitions. The opening of the novel introduces the dynamic between General Hobson and his nephew, Roger Barnes, aboard a steamer in America, setting the stage for cultural contrasts and familial expectations.

We also see the early hints of Roger's attraction to the independent and spirited Daphne Floyd, who is portrayed as a strong, captivating character with a vibrant personality.
