| Summary | "Drowsy" by John Ames Mitchell is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a remarkable romance involving a woman known as the Diva and her lover, an American doctor named Dr. Alton, who has been significantly affected by a duel. Their relationship unfolds amid intrigue and the constant threat of scandal, bringing to light themes of love, sacrifice, and the power of unremarkable connections in extraordinary circumstances. At the start of "Drowsy," the narrative introduces the reader to the enchanting and tumultuous lives of the Diva and Dr. Alton, who are secluded in an idyllic villa along the Adriatic coast. Dr. Alton, recovering from his injuries, finds solace in the Diva's ethereal voice as she sings to him, revealing not only their profound affection but also their shared dreams of family and the future. This opening segment sets a tone of romantic yearning, exploring the intricacies of communication between the couple—even as Alton's injuries render him mute, the Diva develops a mysterious ability to perceive his thoughts and emotions. Their existence is further complicated by the looming "Breath of Scandal," which represents the societal pressures and potential ruin that could befall them if their identities and relationship were revealed. The opening firmly establishes the captivating mix of romance and intrigue that defines the unfolding tale. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
