Barclay is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Lady Myra Ingleby, an introspective woman grappling with themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, especially in the wake of her husband's absence due to war. The novel presents a rich exploration of her emotional landscape, illustrating her connection to her beloved toy-poodle, Peter, and the anxieties of her solitary life at the opulent yet desolate Shenstone Park. At the start of the narrative, we find Lady Ingleby walking solemnly along the terrace of her home, reflecting on the arrival of winter and the emotional toll of her husband's absence in battle. Accompanied by Peter, her anxious dog, she receives a telegram from a doctor signaling a visit, which brings her a fleeting sense of joy amidst her loneliness. The opening chapters set the stage for Lady Ingleby’s struggles, revealing her character through her interactions with Peter and the doctor, as well as her introspection about her husband's well-being. As the narrative unfolds, it hints at deeper themes of love and the impacts of war, suggesting a story rich in both emotional depth and the complexities of human relationships.
