| Summary | "A New Name" by Grace Livingston Hill is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Murray Van Rensselaer, a wealthy young man grappling with the ramifications of a tragic accident involving a girl named Bessie Chapparelle, whom he had recently reconnected with. As he deals with the weight of guilt and the consequences of his reckless behavior, the novel explores themes of redemption, identity, and the stark contrasts between social classes. At the start of the novel, Murray anxiously waits at Blakeley Hospital after a car accident that has left Bessie severely injured. His thoughts reveal a mix of self-loathing and regret for the choices that have led him to this moment, particularly his reckless driving and the potential impact on Bessie's mother, who has shown him kindness in the past. As he grapples with the news of her death, he feels the chilling weight of being a murderer, leading to his desperate flight from reality. The narrative sets a compelling mood, highlighting his internal conflict and the socio-economic divide that sets him apart from Bessie and her family. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
