| Summary | "Red Fleece" by Will Levington Comfort is a novel set during the early 20th century, likely written in the years preceding World War I. The story centers on Peter Mowbray, a journalist who navigates the war-torn landscape of Warsaw and beyond, encountering a mysterious and enchanting young woman named Berthe Solwicz. As Mowbray and Berthe's relationship develops amid the chaos, the novel explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the human impact of war. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Peter Mowbray, who becomes captivated by Berthe during a chance meeting in Palace Square, Warsaw. Initially preoccupied with his work, he is struck by her nobility and beauty. Their connection deepens as they encounter each other again, leading to meaningful conversations filled with introspection and emotional depth. Mowbray is soon thrust into the realities of war, where he grapples with his feelings for Berthe amidst the horrors he witnesses, including the violent treatment of soldiers. This beginning sets the stage for a rich tapestry of personal and political conflicts as characters navigate their destinies during a tumultuous time. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
