Summary: "Whitewash" by Horace Annesley Vachell is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Lady Selina Chandos, the strong-willed widow of a squire as she manages her estate and navigates the complexities of her relationships with tenants and local gentry. The initial chapters introduce us to Lady Selina, her family dynamics, and the socio-political tensions in her community concerning her decisions as a landowner. The opening of "Whitewash" presents Lady Selina at her manor, reflecting on her responsibilities post her husband's death. While preparing for a local fête, she engages in discussions about an eviction notice she feels compelled to issue to her long-time tenant, Ephraim Exton, due to his negligence in maintaining his property. This scene establishes her character as someone who is both benevolent yet firm in her management of the estate. Lady Selina's interactions with her children, Brian and Cicely, as well as the village clergyman, Mr. Goodrich, reveal the communal expectations of her position, foreshadowing tensions that may arise as new ideas challenge traditional practices. The narrative hints at the underlying social pressures and moral dilemmas she encounters in a changing world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
