Summary "The Blotting Book" by E. F. Benson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative introduces us to Mrs. Assheton, a gracious and meticulous host living in Brighton, who maintains her household with a blend of formal tradition and personal care. The story begins to unfold against the backdrop of social gatherings, revealing family dynamics and the intriguing lives intertwined with that of her son, Morris, who has just returned from Cambridge. At the start of the novel, we are immersed in the comfortable yet structured atmosphere of Mrs. Assheton's home as her son Morris celebrates his birthday over dinner with company, including the benevolent but shrewd Mr. Taynton, who serves as Morris's trustee. As conversations swirl around Morris's new motor car and his potential romantic interests, underlying tensions surface with hints of social expectations and familial pressures. The dynamics take a darker turn as Morris learns troubling rumors about himself that threaten to disrupt his budding relationship with Madge Templeton, revealing the complexities of human relationships and social intrigue that will unfold throughout the story.
