| Summary | "Vera" by Elizabeth Von Arnim is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with Lucy, a young woman grappling with the death of her father, which has left her numb and detached. As she stands by the sea, the profound sense of loss permeates the atmosphere around her, setting the stage for a complex exploration of grief and human connection. The opening of "Vera" introduces us to Lucy and the immediate aftermath of her father's death, emphasizing her shock and emotional flatness. She reflects on their close bond and the shared experiences throughout their lives, as well as the stark reality of her solitude now that he is gone. At the same time, Wemyss, a man dealing with the recent loss of his wife, encounters Lucy in her moment of despair and finds a connection born of shared grief. Their first meeting is marked by an uneasy blend of recognition and detachment, setting a poignant tone for their relationship as two individuals seeking solace in one another amidst their mourning.
