| Summary | "Wilhelmina in London" by Barry Pain is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story centers around Wilhelmina, a practical young woman navigating life in London after the death of her father, who left her in precarious financial circumstances. As she sets out to forge her own destiny, Wilhelmina's journey leads her through a series of adventures and encounters that reveal both the challenges and possibilities of independence. At the start of the novel, Wilhelmina reflects on her unsatisfactory upbringing, marked by her father's lack of responsibility and financial instability. After his death, she receives a small inheritance and decides to move to London with vague aspirations for her future. Her first day in the city is filled with unexpected encounters, including a mysterious proposal from Nathan Gould, who enlists her to impersonate his deceased half-sister in an elaborate scheme to protect his ailing mother. Wilhelmina's practical nature and skepticism about Gould's intentions set the stage for a narrative that explores themes of identity, morality, and the pursuit of autonomy in a bustling, unpredictable metropolis.
