| Summary | "The Avalanche: A Mystery Story" by Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Price Ruyler, a man firm in his world of business and societal expectations, who grapples with an unsettling change in his wife Hélène's demeanor and hints of a dark past she might be hiding. As he navigates the complexities of their marriage, Ruyler is confronted with the possibility of familial secrets that threaten to disrupt their seemingly happy life. The opening of the book introduces Price Ruyler as he reflects on the changes in his wife since their marriage, noting a growing distance that perplexes him. As he observes Hélène's changed behavior and the influence of her mother, Madame Delano, a sense of foreboding begins to build. The narrative hints at a mystery surrounding Hélène’s upbringing and her mother’s past, suggesting that their happiness is shadowed by unspoken secrets, possibly tied to a life of scandal. Ruyler’s determination to uncover the truth behind his wife’s apparent troubles sets the stage for a tense exploration of familial loyalty, societal pressures, and the weight of hidden histories.
