| Summary | "Greatheart" by Ethel M. Dell is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a winter paradise in the Alps, introducing characters like the stern maid Biddy Maloney and her caring mistress, Isabel, as well as Scott Studley, Isabel’s gentle brother. The narrative hints at themes of love, longing, and societal pressures through the interactions of these characters, particularly highlighting Isabel's emotional turmoil and the underlying dynamics in their relationships. The opening of "Greatheart" sets the stage with a vivid depiction of a serene Alpine setting while diving into the complex relationships among its characters. Biddy Maloney, fiercely protective of Isabel, disapproves of the superficiality she sees in others, primarily targeting Lady Grace de Vigne. As Isabel wakes on her birthday, her scattered thoughts reveal a deep emotional struggle related to a figure named Basil, indicating tensions within her domestic life. Scott, her brother, demonstrates a nurturing presence, attempting to engage Isabel with the cheerful atmosphere outside, yet signs of her inner turmoil, including the tension with their authoritative brother, Sir Eustace, foreshadow a deeper conflict that unfolds in their lives against the backdrop of winter festivities.
