Summary "You Never Know Your Luck; being the story of a matrimonial deserter. Volume 2." by Gilbert Parker is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Shiel Crozier, a man with a complex past involving gambling, love, and struggles related to his wife, Mona, whom he has left behind after a tumultuous relationship. As he narrates his life story, the book explores themes of loyalty, regret, and the consequences of choices made in the name of fortune. The opening of the novel sets an atmospheric scene in Prairie Land, where the stillness of summer envelops Shiel Crozier's tale, which captivates the young Kitty Tynan and a visiting doctor. Through Crozier's reminiscence, we learn about his upbringing, his reckless gambling habits, and the emotional burden of his estrangement from his wife. Despite his initial confidence in his betting abilities, he reflects on failures, including a fateful race that culminated in ruin. The interactions among the characters hint at an underlying tension, especially as Kitty embarks on a conflicted emotional journey, grappling with her feelings for Crozier while he wrestles with the return of his estranged wife. The chapter foreshadows deepening connections and complicated dynamics as the story progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
