Lucinda

Published in 1914, 'Lucinda' by Anthony Hope follows the story of a bride who goes missing on her wedding day in London. As her mother receives a note stating, 'I can’t do it, Mother. So I’ve gone,' the search for Lucinda begins, complicated by the onset of the First World War. The narrative explores themes of love, duty, and the impact of war on personal lives, culminating in the eventual revelation of Lucinda's fate after the conflict ends.
