Summary "The Middle of the Road: A Novel" by Philip Gibbs is a fiction work written in the early 20th century. The story follows Bertram Pollard, a war veteran grappling with internal turmoil following the traumatic experiences of World War I and the complexities of his marriage to Joyce. The narrative explores themes of love, loss, and societal disillusionment in a post-war society. The opening portion of the novel introduces Bertram Pollard as he anxiously awaits news of his wife's childbirth. The intense emotional strain he feels is palpable, heralding a somber atmosphere in their Kensington home. As he recalls his past with Joyce and his experiences during the war, his feelings of inadequacy and fear regarding their future become evident. The narrative sets the stage for the deep exploration of their relationship, revealing undercurrents of jealousy and societal expectations, particularly as Bertram confronts Joyce's desire for independence. A significant tragedy unfolds as they face the stillbirth of their child, marking a pivotal moment that leaves Bertram grappling with grief and unresolved emotions amidst the chaotic social landscape of the time.
