Summary "The House of Defence, Vol. 1" by E. F. Benson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative begins with a sense of urgency and concern as Lord Thurso and his sister, Lady Maud Raynham, arrive at their estate in Caithness to address a typhoid epidemic striking the nearby village. The story explores themes of family loyalty, duty, and the interplay between health and emotional well-being as the characters navigate their circumstances. At the start of the novel, Lady Maud waits for her brother to return from delivering aid to the villagers affected by the epidemic. The setting portrays a stark contrast between the tranquil yet exposed grandeur of their home and the grim reality of the healthcare crisis unfolding in the nearby village. As the narrative unfolds, we witness the siblings' dynamic, particularly how Maud's optimism serves to uplift her brother's spirits. The foundation is laid for interactions with other characters such as Bertie Cochrane, an American with compelling beliefs about healing that may challenge Maud's perspectives as the story progresses. The opening chapters establish an intimate portrait of Maud's inner world and set the stage for the exploration of themes of illness, responsibility, and the potential for healing.
