| Summary | "Tempest-Driven: A Romance (Vol. 3 of 3)" by Richard Dowling is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work explores themes of love, loyalty, and social dynamics, particularly through the lens of complex relationships surrounding the character of Mrs. Davenport and her interactions with the Paulton family and others. The narrative blends romance with emotional conflict, and the story delves into the societal expectations placed upon its characters. The opening of the novel introduces us to the Paulton household during a subdued luncheon, where Edith and Madge Paulton discuss the arrival of Jerry O’Brien and their perceptions of Mrs. Davenport, a widow whose past is shrouded in drama and mystery. As the conversation unfolds, Edith’s blunt commentary reveals her unfettered thoughts on love and relationships, hinting at unseen tensions between various characters, including Alfred, who harbors feelings for Mrs. Davenport. The narrative begins to peel back the layers of social expectation, with themes of ambition, unrequited love, and the pursuit of happiness all interwoven through the character interactions and their personal struggles. The stage is set for the exploration of Mrs. Davenport’s intentions and the implications of her connections with the men around her, creating a rich tapestry that promises to unfold throughout the novel.
