| Summary | "Mr. Waddington of Wyck" by May Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the complexities of relationships, social dynamics, and the roles of its characters against the backdrop of English country life. The story revolves around Barbara Madden, who is hired as the secretary to Horatio Bysshe Waddington and the companion to his charming wife, Fanny. As Barbara navigates her duties, she becomes entangled in the lives of the Waddingtons, experiencing the interplay of affection, power, and social expectations. The opening of the novel introduces us to Barbara as she acclimates to her new role at Lower Wyck Manor, focusing on her interactions with Fanny, who is full of life and energy. We see glimpses of Horatio through his portrait and hints of his complex character, setting up an intriguing dynamic as Barbara anticipates his arrival after a short absence. The scene captures the blissful yet fragile atmosphere of the house, highlighting Barbara's admiration for Fanny and her curiosity about her new employer.
