| Summary | "The Tenants of Malory, Volume 1" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu is a gothic novel written during the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the quaint Welsh town of Cardyllian, where the mysterious tenants of the old estate, Malory, have captivated the curiosity of the local residents. The narrative hints at romantic entanglements and hidden secrets, primarily focusing on Mr. Cleve Verney, a handsome scion of the Verney family, as he becomes enchanted by a beautiful young lady associated with Malory, and the interactions among the town's eclectic cast of characters. The opening of the novel introduces us to the setting of Cardyllian and the enigmatic Malory estate, long abandoned until recently occupied by two ladies and an old gentleman. The local gossip reveals a backdrop of intrigue as the residents speculate about the odd behavior of the tenants, who never venture into town. During a church service, Cleve Verney's attention is drawn to a stunning girl seated in the Malory pew, sparking his curiosity and desire to learn more about her and her companions. As he grapples with his growing fascination, we witness a glimpse of the overall themes of love, madness, and the weight of familial legacy that are intricately woven throughout the narrative.
