| Summary | "The Top of the World" by Ethel M. Dell is a romantic novel written during the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around Sylvia Ingleton, a young woman who grapples with the complexities of love and familial obligations, particularly in the wake of her father's remarriage. As she navigates her feelings for Guy Ranger, the man she believes is her destined partner, she faces challenges that test her resolve and maturity. At the start of the novel, we meet Sylvia, who has dedicated her life to her long-distance relationship with Guy, separated for five years. Her idyllic life at the family manor is disrupted when her father marries a new woman, Mrs. Ingleton, whose presence brings an oppressive tension between her and Sylvia. Old Jeffcott, the head gardener, hints at Sylvia's need to adapt to this new reality, suggesting she should marry. The opening chapters detail Sylvia's conflicting emotions as she holds steadfast to her love for Guy, while her father's new marriage introduces complications that force her to confront her independence and future. The struggle to balance her loyalty to her past love and the demands of her current life forms the emotional core of the story. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
