Summary "Broken Music" by Phyllis Bottome is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces readers to Jean D’Ucelles, a young man who grapples with the expectations placed upon him by his relatives and society, amidst his passion for music and a yearning for freedom. The novel explores themes of identity, family legacy, and the conflict between duty and personal desire. The opening of the novel sets the stage for Jean's life at Ucelles, where he is raised by his English aunt, Miss Prenderghast, after the tragic circumstances surrounding his parents' lives. The narrative begins with a discussion between the local Curé and the doctor about Jean’s upbringing, revealing the tension between traditional values and modernity. As the two characters debate Jean's future, the audience learns of his aspirations to become a musician, contrasted with the expectations his guardians hold. The atmosphere shifts when Jean enters the broader world of Paris, where he faces new challenges and encounters complex characters, including those who appreciate art and life differently. This setup establishes an emotional backdrop rich with conflict that propels Jean into his journey of self-discovery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
