Summary: "A Reversion to Type" by E. M. Delafield is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the Aviolet family, particularly focusing on Lady Aviolet, her daughter-in-law Rose, and young Cecil, as they navigate life at Squires, their ancestral home. The narrative explores themes of family dynamics, societal expectations, and the contrasts between traditional British values and modern sensibilities. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the opulent yet suffocating environment of Squires, where Dr. Lucian, a family physician, is called to examine young Cecil. The interactions among Lady Aviolet, Rose, and Dr. Lucian reveal underlying tensions, particularly concerning young Cecil's upbringing and his struggle to adapt after returning from Ceylon, where he was raised by his mother Rose. As they discuss his health and education, it becomes evident that the family harbors high expectations, often at odds with Rose's intuitive maternal instincts, setting the stage for exploring deeper conflicts surrounding identity, truth, and societal norms.
