| Summary | "The Woman of Knockaloe: A Parable" by Hall Caine is a novel written in the early 20th century. It tells a poignant love story set against the backdrop of World War I, focusing particularly on themes of war, peace, and the human condition. The central character, Mona, navigates her feelings of animosity towards the Germans amidst the backdrop of her brother's involvement in the war, exploring the deeper implications of love in a time of conflict. The opening portion introduces Knockaloe, a farm on the Isle of Man, where Mona lives with her father and brother, Robbie. The story begins just as World War I is declared, with Mona filled with excitement about the prospect of war and unsure of her feelings for the Germans. As Robbie joins the fight, the looming presence of war starts to change the dynamics of their lives. Amidst the early tensions of mobilization, Mona's strong character is established, and as the camp for interned Germans is built on their farmland, her internal struggle with her feelings and her societal role begins to take shape against the backdrop of a deteriorating world.
