| Summary | "Lente" by Cyriel Buysse is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the fragile dynamics of a family, particularly as they face the impending death of their wealthy aunt, Zeunia. Belzemien, Standje, and their sister Cordúla grapple with their complicated feelings about family obligation, inheritance, and the return of their long-lost cousin, Leontientje, who has been living in Paris. At the start of the novel, the family visits Aunt Zeunia, who is gravely ill. Despite her weak physical condition, she expresses a desire to see her niece Leontientje one more time. As the siblings discuss the gravity of their aunt's request, their individual personalities start to unfold: Belzemien is the intelligent and meticulous elder brother, Standje is more carefree and easily distracted, and Cordúla is the stern caretaker concerned about propriety. This opening section sets up both the emotional stakes and the familial tension that will unfold as Leontientje arrives, bringing new energy and challenges to their household.
