Summary "In Spite of All: A Novel" by Edna Lyall is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with the childhood of the main characters, Gabriel Harford and Hilary Unett, set against the backdrop of a politically tumultuous England facing various challenges. The narrative explores their friendship and budding romance, intertwined with significant historical events and themes of love, loyalty, and societal constraints. The opening of the novel introduces a playful snowball fight between Gabriel and Hilary, highlighting their close bond as children. However, the innocence of their childhood is soon contrasted with the seriousness of adult concerns when Sir Robert Harley informs Dr. Harford of political tensions resulting from the death of Sir John Eliot, a staunch advocate for parliamentary rights. Through the children's playful interactions and the heavy realities of the adult world, the reader is set up for a journey that will intertwine personal growth with the historical struggles of 17th century England. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes evident that their evolving relationship will be challenged by societal expectations and the harsh realities of their respective family backgrounds.
