| Summary | "Between Whiles" by Helen Hunt Jackson is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story is set in colonial New England and revolves around the peculiarities of human relationships and societal dynamics through the lives of Willan Blaycke, his wife Jeanne Dubois, and their circle, reflecting themes of love, ambition, and complexity in social class. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Willan Blaycke, an eccentric landowner who has just returned to America after sending his only son to England for schooling. His wife, Jeanne, who is of questionable repute, struggles with her new role as the wife of a wealthy man. Following Willan's death, tensions rise between Jeanne and her stepson Willan, who inherits the estate. The social undercurrents are further complicated by the arrival of Victorine Dubois, Jeanne's niece, who is rumored to carry the legacy of her family's troubled past. The characters are woven into a rich tapestry of ambition, intrigue, and hidden motives, setting the stage for the unfolding drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
