Summary "The Splendid Fairing" by Constance Holme is a novel written in the early 20th century. It delves into the lives of Simon and Sarah Thornthwaite, a weary elderly couple facing the burden of a life filled with misfortune, as they prepare to leave their troubled farm named Sandholes. The story captures themes of hardship, aging, and the emotional weight of their shared history, as Simon reflects on their past and the losses that have shaped their current lives. At the start of the novel, Simon and Sarah are depicted making their way to the market town of Witham, their reluctant journey marked by a sense of impending change and resignation. The couple is characterized by their weariness and nostalgia, reminiscing about their once-vibrant youth juxtaposed against the dreariness of their current existence. Their conversations reveal their acknowledgment of a long-standing misfortune tied to both their farm and family, highlighting the emotional turmoil surrounding their son Geordie who has been absent for years. The opening scenes establish an atmosphere of melancholy and inevitability as they confront the reality that they are no longer able to maintain their home, while mysterious events involving a car and Simon’s heightened sense of foreboding hint at deeper themes to unfold.
