| Summary |
"When Love Calls" by Stanley John Weyman is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story opens with two young girls, Bab and Clare, spending their summer near the picturesque Sogn Fiord in Norway. Their adventures involve fishing, playful banter, and interactions with a young man named Jem Herapath, who becomes a significant figure in their lives. At the start of the novel, Bab expresses her discomfort about being dressed down and her eagerness to get back to their home in Bolton Gardens. The narrative vividly describes the idyllic Norwegian setting where Bab and Clare engage in fishing and enjoying local berries. Their carefree holiday takes a turn when Bab inadvertently puts Jem in danger by overreacting to a perceived predicament, leading to a series of humorous and reflective moments about youth, bravery, and blossoming feelings. The opening sets up the dynamics between the characters while hinting at the deeper themes of love and self-discovery that will unfold throughout the tale.
