Summary "Madame Claire" by Susan Ertz is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Lady Gregory, affectionately known as Madame Claire, who navigates the complexities of life, family, and aging after relocating to the Kensington Park Hotel at seventy-eight. As she reflects on her relationships, particularly with her son Eric and her granddaughter Judy, the narrative delves into themes of love, loss, and the societal expectations faced by women. The opening of "Madame Claire" introduces us to the titular character as she settles into her new life at the Kensington Park Hotel, where she has created a comfortable and inviting space. We learn about her deep connections with her family, her past as the wife of a notable ambassador, and her ongoing struggles with loneliness and contemplation of aging. Familiar with her own shortcomings and the dynamics of her children's lives, she communicates through heartfelt letters with her former suitor, Stephen de Lisle, who represents a lost but cherished connection. As the narrative unfolds, we see the challenges that arise within her family, especially regarding her son Eric's troubled marriage to Louise, hinting at wider generational themes of love, disappointment, and the desire for connection in a rapidly changing world.
