| Summary | "The Phantom Lover" by Ruby M. Ayres is a romance novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Micky Mellowes, a man who finds himself unexpectedly drawn into a poignant encounter with a mysterious young woman named Esther Shepstone on New Year's Eve. Their chance meeting leads Micky to explore themes of kindness, love, and self-discovery as he tries to understand Esther's sorrow and their budding connection. At the start of the novel, Micky is in a foul mood after his New Year's Eve plans are abruptly canceled. Drawn by the sound of a girl crying outside, he meets Esther, who initially appears distraught and burdened with a cat she is caring for. Despite her reluctance, Micky invites her to supper, and they share a heartfelt conversation that reveals their mutual feelings of despair. However, the narrative takes a twist when Micky learns that Esther is linked to his friend, Ashton, who has just made a distressing decision that impacts Esther's life. The opening sets the stage for a tale of romantic entanglement and emotional challenges, as Micky grapples with his feelings for Esther amidst the unfolding drama.
