Produced by David Widger "Afterwards, and Other Stories" by Ian Maclaren is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The opening story introduces Edward Trevor, a successful barrister, who finds himself grappling with regret as he receives shocking news about his wife, Maud. Set against a backdrop of contrasting environments—from the sunny Riviera to the dreary fog of London—the narrative explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the often overlooked depth of ordinary relationships. At the start of the first story, Trevor enjoys a luxurious vacation, juxtaposed with memories of his wife, Maud, who stays behind with their young son, Bertie. As the idyllic scene unfolds, Trevor receives a telegram prompting his swift return home, leading to an emotional reveal about Maud's condition. The stark transition from pleasure to anguish highlights Trevor's inner conflicts and the value of his wife's quiet strength, ultimately guiding him toward a painful understanding of her sacrifices and the love they shared. This opening serves as a compelling introduction to the collection's exploration of human relationships, evoking a profound sense of empathy and reflection on what truly matters in life.
