"Proper Pride: A Novel" by B. M. Croker is a historical fiction novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows Sir Reginald Fairfax, whose life takes numerous turns during his military service in India, juxtaposed with the isolated plight of his wife, Alice, back home. The book delves into themes of love, duty, and the complexities of marriage, exploring the emotional depths of its characters as they navigate misunderstandings and estrangements. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Sir Reginald as he undertakes a journey to the Neilgherry Hills during his leave, reflecting on his life and the absence of his wife, Alice. His thoughts reveal a longing for connection amidst his adventures, contrasting starkly with Alice's troubled emotional state at Monkswood, where she grapples with regret and solitude. As the narrative unfolds, tensions around their marriage emerge, exacerbated by Sir Reginald's military engagements in Afghanistan and Alice's isolation, setting the stage for their eventual reunion and confrontations related to their past decisions. This opening portion encapsulates the intricate interplay of ambition, pride, and the longing for reconciliation between the central characters.
