Summary "Within These Walls" by Rupert Hughes is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of a cholera epidemic in New York City, focusing on the lives of David RoBards and his bride, Patty Jessamine, as they flee the chaos of the city in search of safety. The narrative explores themes of love, survival, and societal challenges during a tumultuous period in American history. At the start of the novel, David and Patty embark on a carriage ride from New York to their home in Westchester. David is filled with both fear and exhilaration as he and his young bride escape the cholera-inflicted city, which is marked by panic and death. As they journey through the once-familiar streets, they encounter remnants of their former lives, hearing echoes of joy now turned to woe. Although the couple appears to be in a homeward-bound adventure, the underlying tension of their new marriage dynamics begins to surface, suggesting future conflicts as they transition from city life to the isolation of the countryside.
