| Summary | "The Human Interest: A Study in Incompatibilities" by Violet Hunt is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Egidia, a successful London authoress, who visits a provincial town and meets Mrs. Phœbe Elles, a woman trapped in a suffocating marriage to the dull Mortimer Elles. The narrative explores the incompatibilities in relationships and the longing for a more vibrant, fulfilling life through the lens of these two women and their contrasting experiences. At the start of the novel, the setting is established with Egidia's arrival in Newcastle, where she feels the oppressive gloom of the city. While visiting Mrs. Elles, Egidia is drawn into a conversation revealing Mrs. Elles’s dissatisfaction with her own life marred by her husband's indifference and the monotony of provincial existence. During their interaction, Mrs. Elles expresses her yearning for change and culture, while Egidia reflects on the complexities and isolation of literary life. The opening chapter sets the tone for a deeper exploration of the struggles between personal desires and societal expectations, particularly for women of the time.
