Summary "Love at Paddington" by W. Pett Ridge is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Gertie Higham, a young woman navigating life and love in London, particularly her relationship with Mr. Trew and young Henry Douglass. The narrative explores themes of social class and romantic aspirations amid the bustling background of city life. At the start of the book, we meet Gertie Higham and her aunt, Mrs. Mills, who run a small shop near Paddington Station. Their interaction reveals familial dynamics, as well as Gertie’s aspirations and the tension between her working-class life and desires for romance. As Gertie prepares for an outing, she hopes to juggle her affection for Mr. Trew, a friendly omnibus driver, while incidents in the bustling streets introduce possible romantic complications, particularly with Henry Douglass, a young man who intrigues her. The opening sets the stage for a light-hearted exploration of relationships, friendships, and personal ambitions in the vibrant landscape of early 20th-century London.
