| Summary | "Tetherstones" by Ethel M. Dell is a novel written in the early 20th century. This work delves into themes of love, sacrifice, and personal struggle, centering around the character of Frances Thorold, who finds herself caught between her responsibilities as a secretary for a domineering Bishop and her yearning for a more fulfilling life. The story hints at a romantic entanglement with Montague Rotherby, a man who awakens emotions in her that she has long repressed. At the start of the novel, Frances is introduced as the Bishop's overworked secretary, feeling insignificant amidst the grandeur of her surroundings. We witness her exhausting routine and the toll it takes on her spirit, particularly in her interactions with the Bishop, who epitomizes the authoritarian figure in her life. The opening scenes establish the tension between her duty and her desires, culminating in a chance conversation with Rotherby that hints at a connection between them. This delicate balance of longing and duty unfolds as Frances grapples with both her ambition and the constraints imposed upon her, setting the stage for deeper conflict and emotional exploration in her journey.
