Summary "The Day Will Come" by M. E. Braddon is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young couple, Juanita Dalbrook and Sir Godfrey Carmichael, as they embark on their honeymoon in the idyllic setting of Cheriton Chase, a manorial estate steeped in history and familial connections. The opening sets the stage for themes of social status, personal ambition, and the weight of legacy, hinting at underlying tensions and emotional complexity among the characters. The opening of the book introduces a vibrant celebration in the village of Cheriton, marking the marriage of Juanita and Godfrey. As the couple arrives amid the joyful ringing of church bells and festive villagers, we learn about their backgrounds, including Lord Cheriton's self-made rise to nobility and Juanita's delicate beauty and familial expectations. Although joyful, the narrative hints at Juanita's concerns over her family's history and her father's aspirations for a male heir, establishing a backdrop of personal conflict. The introduction of Theodore Dalbrook, Juanita’s cousin who harbors unrequited feelings for her, adds another layer of emotional tension, foreshadowing potential challenges the couple may face as they navigate their new life together in the old manor house.
