"Non-combatants and Others" by Rose Macaulay is a novel written in the early 20th century during the Great War. This work explores the lives of those affected by World War I, emphasizing the experiences of individuals on the home front. The story primarily follows Alix, a young woman navigating her artistic pursuits amid the chaos of war, as she interacts with family and friends impacted by military service and wartime activities. At the start of the novel, Alix is introduced in a scene where she draws a local boy named Percival, revealing her artistic temperament and physical limitations due to her disability. As family dynamics unfold, we learn about Alix’s relatives, particularly her cousin John, who has returned home injured from the front lines, and their mother, who is heavily involved in war relief efforts. The opening chapters depict a contrast between Alix's internal struggles with the impact of war on her life and the different ways her family copes with their roles during the conflict, setting the stage for deeper exploration of themes related to war, individuality, and societal expectations.
