| Summary | "Where Love Is" by William John Locke is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the dynamics of love and societal expectations, particularly through the lens of the main characters, Jimmie Padgate, a struggling artist, and the beautiful but cynical Norma Hardacre. Their interactions raise questions about romance, personal values, and the societal pressures faced by individuals in a striving yet superficial world. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a social gathering where Norma Hardacre engages Jimmie Padgate in conversation. Jimmie is depicted as somewhat of an outsider, clearly out of place in his frayed clothing compared to the stylish guests around him. As they converse, Jimmie's perspectives on the world challenge Norma’s cynical worldview, stirring an unexpected connection between them. This chapter sets up the contrast between Jimmie’s simple, sincere outlook and the complex, often superficial social interactions that characterize Norma's life. Through their dialogue, we begin to sense the budding tension between romantic possibility and societal obligation that will define their relationship as the novel progresses.
