| Summary |
"Whither Thou Goest" by William Le Queux is a romantic novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Guy Rossett, the son of the Earl of Saxham, who wishes to marry Isobel Clandon, a woman of modest means, despite his father's vehement opposition driven by social class prejudices. As Guy is assigned a position at the British Embassy in Madrid, the narrative unfolds with themes of love, family loyalty, and the turbulence of societal expectations. At the start of the novel, the tension is palpable as the Earl of Saxham learns of his son Guy's engagement to Isobel, who he regards as unworthy. The Earl's scheme to send Guy abroad serves as both a dramatic uprooting for the young lovers and a catalyst for future conflict. The opening chapters introduce various characters, such as Guy’s sister, Lady Mary, who supports her brother's pursuit of love, and hints at dangerous political intrigue through intersecting narratives involving anarchists in Spain and Guy’s upcoming diplomatic role, setting the stage for both romantic and thrilling developments in the story.
