| Summary |
"Irene Iddesleigh" by Amanda McKittrick Ros is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the titular character, Irene Iddesleigh, and explores themes of love, deception, and social status within a rich tapestry of Victorian society. The narrative hints at a tumultuous emotional landscape as Irene navigates her complex relationships with other characters, particularly Sir John Dunfern. The opening of the novel sets a reflective and somewhat melancholic tone, presenting Irene in a state of introspection as she walks along a beach, contemplating her circumstances. The grand Dunfern mansion is introduced as a symbol of both opulence and mystery, alluding to secrets hidden within its walls. As the chapter progresses, we meet Sir John Dunfern, who receives an invitation to a ball where he hopes to engage the attentions of Irene, noted for her beauty and grace. The initial stage is established, filled with societal expectations and the lingering possibility of romance, setting the foundation for the unfolding drama of love and betrayal.
