| Summary | "The Sundial" by Fred M. White is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around John Charlock, a troubled portrait painter who faces personal tragedy with the impending death of his young son, which sets off a cascade of emotional turmoil and marital strife with his wife, Kate. John grapples with feelings of betrayal and rage as he uncovers Kate's secretive behavior, suggesting deeper issues within their marriage. The opening of the novel introduces readers to John Charlock in a moment of profound grief as he watches his dying son, reflecting on his life choices and strained relationship with Kate. Meanwhile, Kate is depicted as being neglectful, choosing to entertain herself at a card party instead of supporting her husband during their child's final moments. This volatility escalates, showcasing the couple's contrasting responses to tragic circumstances. As John navigates through this heart-wrenching ordeal, he is also confronted by chilling signs of deceit and emerging threats tied to the household, marked by the mysterious death of their maid, Hortense. The blend of personal strife and looming danger sets the stage for a gripping narrative filled with tension. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
