"Old Valentines" by Munson Aldrich Havens is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the love story of Phyllis Oglebay, the daughter of a once-renowned actress, Valentine Germain, and her struggles after the tragic loss of her parents. As Phyllis navigates the complexities of her life, she grapples with her affections for John Landless, a poet, while contending with the disapproval of her stern uncle, Sir Peter Oglebay. The opening of "Old Valentines" introduces us to Phyllis Oglebay, her parents, and the world they inhabit, marked by art, affection, and tragedy. We see the vivid memories of her parents, Robert and Valentine, whose vibrant relationship is interrupted by their untimely death, leaving Phyllis to be raised by Sir Peter. As Phyllis comes of age, her innocent demeanor clashes with the weight of familial expectations and societal barriers, especially as she falls in love with the aspiring poet John Landless. Their budding romance is woven through a backdrop of loss and longing, setting the stage for the emotional journey that unfolds. The narrative captures the contrast between the joys of youthful love and the shadows of a troubled past, drawing readers into the poignant tapestry of family, memory, and aspiration.
