Summary "The White Dove" by William John Locke is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Sylvester Lanyon, a dedicated doctor who grapples with the memories of his deceased wife while navigating his relationships with those around him, particularly Ella Defries, a vibrant young woman who challenges his somber outlook on life. The novel explores themes of love, loss, and the complexities of human connection against the backdrop of a slow-paced, reflective life. The beginning of the novel introduces Sylvester in a thoughtful exchange with Ella, revealing their contrasting perspectives on life. While Ella advocates for embracing life's joys despite its struggles, Sylvester appears more guarded and introspective, weighed down by memories of loss. As their conversation unfolds, it becomes clear that Sylvester is on the cusp of significant change, having just sold his medical practice to pursue newfound ambitions in London. This pivotal moment sets the stage for the exploration of his character's internal conflict, laying the groundwork for the unfolding drama of relationships, societal expectations, and personal revelations throughout the story.
