Summary "Mrs. Harter" by E. M. Delafield is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the enigmatic character Diamond Harter, whose return to the quaint English town of Cross Loman stirs mixed recollections and intrigue among the locals. Through the eyes of those in the community, the narrative explores themes of perception, societal norms, and personal complexity, primarily focusing on Diamond's interactions with others, notably Captain Patch, a new acquaintance. At the start of the book, we are introduced to a reflective narrator, who grapples with the memories and impressions left by Mrs. Harter's presence alongside other town figures like Claire Ambrey and Nancy Fazackerly. The characters begin to reconstruct their thoughts surrounding Mrs. Harter, shedding light on their differing perceptions of her character, as well as introducing Captain Patch, who holds a unique interest in her. The atmosphere of Cross Loman, a seemingly tame yet layered community, rapidly comes alive as Diamond, with her assertive personality and past background, sets the stage for entangled relationships and social dynamics that will unfurl as the story progresses.
