Summary "Mad Barbara" by Warwick Deeping is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against a rich backdrop of aristocracy and intrigue, focusing on the titular character, Barbara Purcell, who grapples with the traumatic aftermath of her father's mysterious murder. As she navigates the complex dynamics of her family and societal expectations, her emotional turmoil drives her quest for truth and revenge. The opening of the novel intrigues the reader by presenting a poignant scene: Barbara discovers her father dead in their music-room, which sets the stage for her deep obsession with the past and her silent mourning for a man she both loved and feared. As she contemplates her father's untimely demise, the narrative introduces her challenging relationships with her mother, Anne, and the larger social environment of the time, where joy and frivolity clash starkly against her grief. The story hints at Barbara's internal struggle and foreshadows her future encounters with the world around her, including her interactions with figures such as Lord Gore and his son, John, who enters the narrative as a figure of intrigue and potential alliance against the backdrop of her tragic reality.
