Summary "From Whose Bourne" by Robert Barr is a fictional narrative written in the late 19th century. The story centers around William Brenton, who unexpectedly finds himself deceased after a seemingly normal Christmas Eve dinner with his wife, Alice, and friends. The narrative explores themes of life after death as Brenton grapples with his new existence in the spirit world and his attempts to understand the circumstances surrounding his untimely demise while navigating the emotional turmoil of seeing his wife accused of his murder. The opening of the story introduces William Brenton as he excuses himself from the gathering and goes upstairs, where he soon falls into a dreamlike state. This unsettling dream transitions into a surreal experience where he observes his own lifeless body and learns from a mysterious figure that he is dead. As Brenton comes to terms with his new reality, he is drawn back to the events leading to his death and is horrified to discover that his wife has been arrested for his murder. The initial chapters establish a captivating premise of the afterlife intertwined with mystery, engaging the reader in Brenton's journey as he seeks both clarity and resolution for the chaos left behind.
