| Summary | "Dulcie Carlyon: A Novel. Volume 1" by James Grant is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the tumultuous relationship of Lennard Melfort, a captain recently returned from India, and his love for Flora MacIan, a governess of lesser social standing, which incites a passionate conflict with his aristocratic family. The themes of love, social class, and familial pride unfold amidst their struggles and the subsequent consequences of their illicit marriage. The opening of the novel introduces us to a heated argument between Lennard and his parents, Lord and Lady Fettercairn, over his choice to marry Flora. The conversation reveals a deep familial schism based on class and pride as Lennard stands up for Flora's honor, emphasizing her noble lineage despite her impoverished status. Tensions rise as Lennard declares that he and Flora are already wed, resulting in his ostracization from his family. Following this confrontation, we are given glimpses into Lennard's thoughts as he leaves his childhood home and contemplates the sacrifices made for love, setting the course for a narrative filled with emotional turmoil and the struggles of navigating societal expectations.
