| Summary |
"To-morrow?" by Victoria Cross is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around Victor, a passionate yet struggling writer grappling with the repeated rejection of his manuscripts, which express his unconventional religious views and critique of societal norms. As he navigates his frustrations with the literary world, he also contemplates his engagement to his cousin Lucia, whose artistic aspirations often overshadow their relationship. The opening of the novel establishes Victor's emotional turmoil as he reacts to yet another rejection letter. Filled with anger and disappointment, he reflects on his relentless pursuit of success and the bitter irony of being acknowledged as talented while still remaining unpublished. This frustration spills over into his dinner conversations with his father, who questions Victor's dedication to his craft and encourages him to conform to conventional writing to gain acceptance. The narrative delves into Victor's complex feelings about success, love, and the sacrifices he may have to make, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of his artistic struggles and romantic aspirations.
