| Summary | "Ten Degrees Backward" by Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Reginald Kingsnorth, a 42-year-old bachelor who reflects on his life and the familial dynamics with his sister Annabel. As events unfold, the entrance of the Wildacre twins—Frank and Fay—brings potential change and excitement, challenging Reginald's content but stagnant existence. At the start of the novel, Reginald reminisces about his uneventful life, shaped by the protective hand of his sister Annabel, and his estrangement from romantic attachments. The narrative takes a turn when Arthur Blathwayte informs Reginald about his late friend Wildacre’s children, whom he has agreed to care for. As Reginald hears about the twins and prepares for their arrival, he grapples with the feelings of failure and missed opportunities, while simultaneously feeling a spark of interest at the prospect of their youthful intrusion into his quiet, structured life at Restham Manor. The opening sets the tone for a story that blends themes of nostalgia, familial bonds, and the yearning for change. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
