| Summary | "Grey Wethers: A Romantic Novel" by V. Sackville-West is a romantic novel set in a rural English village, likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds around the lives and dynamics of its inhabitants, particularly focusing on the character of Clare Warrener, who navigates her feelings and social expectations amidst the traditions and mysteries of her surroundings. The opening of the novel introduces a quaint village marked by a peculiar silence, inhabited primarily by the elderly and depicted as steeped in nostalgic tales and local superstitions. Clare, a young lady from the Manor House, rides into this world, feeling a sense of wistfulness towards the lively youth engaged in a local celebration called the Scouring of the White Horse. Introduced to various characters, including the enigmatic Nicholas Lovel and the more socially refined Mr. Calladine, Clare grapples with her place within the rigid societal expectations of her station, while being drawn to the tantalizing freedom represented by the wildness of the hills and the local customs. The contrasting atmospheres of innocence, inquiry, and longing create a rich tapestry as the village's secrets slowly begin to unravel. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
