| Summary | "The Sapphire Cross" by George Manville Fenn is a Victorian novel likely written in the late 19th century. This narrative revolves around themes of love, loss, and destiny, focusing on Marion and her complicated emotions as she prepares to marry Sir Murray Gernon, haunted by the memory of her late fiancé, Philip. The book paints a vivid picture of a small English community grappling with romantic entanglements and personal dilemmas, inviting readers into the characters' emotional struggles. At the start of the novel, we meet two young women, Marion and Ada, as they enjoy a day in the Fen-land, gathering flowers and reflecting on memories of Philip, who passed away while serving as a soldier. As Marion approaches her wedding to Sir Murray, she wrestles with pangs of guilt for moving on while being emotionally tethered to her past love. The tension escalates with the introduction of Philip Norton, who unexpectedly returns after being presumed dead, creating a dramatic conflict that challenges Marion's new life. This tangled web of relationships, memories, and unfulfilled desires sets the stage for a story rich with emotional depth and intrigue. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
