Produced by Al Haines, John Routh & the online Distributed Proofreaders Canada team at https://www.pgdpcanada.net "The Owls' House" by Crosbie Garstin is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows John Penhale, a reclusive farmer, who is shaped by a traumatic accident that left him disfigured and embittered. As he grapples with his solitary existence, the narrative unfolds around themes of isolation, love, and the complexity of human relationships against the backdrop of rural England. The opening of the novel introduces John Penhale as he leaves a lawyer’s office, reflecting on his awkwardness in social situations filled with raucous behavior and laughter that he feels excluded from due to his scars. After a distressing encounter at an inn, he reminisces about the accident that changed his life and how it has affected his interactions, providing a glimpse into the bitterness and seclusion he endures. Throughout this initial passage, the reader witnesses his longing for home and a sense of belonging, laying the foundation for a story rich in personal conflict and emotional depth as he navigates the complexities of returning to a life where he must ultimately confront both his past and the prospect of marriage as dictated by his aunt's will.
