Summary "The Green Mirror: A Quiet Story" by Hugh Walpole is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book appears to delve into the lives of the Trenchard family, exploring themes of family dynamics, personal aspirations, and societal expectations through the eyes of the young Henry Trenchard and his sister Katherine. The world they inhabit is one marked by tradition and the sometimes stifling nature of familial love and loyalty. The opening of the novel introduces us to No. 5, Rundle Square, an old house enveloped in fog on a November afternoon in 1902. Young Henry is found reading alone in a dimly lit drawing-room, deeply engaged in a novel that evokes in him dreams of adventure beyond his mundane existence. As he contemplates his life and surroundings, his thoughts shift between a yearning for the excitement of the outside world and a profound love for his family, particularly for his sister, Katherine. The family is soon gathered for a ceremonial evening, celebrating the birthday of their grandfather. This routine event subtly foreshadows deeper themes of change and the impact of the outside world infiltrating the comfort of their traditional home. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
