A novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Lewisham, a young tutor at a school in Sussex, who is heavily focused on his studies and aspirations for fame, seemingly disregarding romantic interests until he encounters a mysterious young woman. The themes of ambition, youthful idealism, and the complexities of love are likely to intertwine as Lewisham navigates his academic duties and burgeoning feelings. The opening of the novel introduces Lewisham as a diligent student preparing to further his education at the university, reflecting a disciplined life marked by ambition. As he studies in his modest attic room, he becomes distracted by thoughts of a girl he briefly glimpsed in church, illustrating the tension between his academic goals and emerging romantic feelings. This internal conflict is heightened by the vibrant spring day described, which evokes a sense of renewal and desire. Lewisham’s initial encounter with the girl reveals both his shyness and curiosity, setting the stage for a narrative that will explore the balance between personal ambition and the unpredictability of love.
