| Summary | "Viviette" by William John Locke is a romantic novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Viviette Hastings, a young woman returning to her childhood home, where her two brothers, Dick and Austin Ware, have taken different paths in life, leading to unspoken rivalries and suppressed emotions. As Viviette navigates the affections of her brothers and a neighboring suitor, Lord Banstead, themes of love, jealousy, and the struggle for independence emerge, all set against the backdrop of the English countryside. At the start of the narrative, we meet Viviette lounging in her garden, engaging in playful banter with Katherine Holroyd while reflecting on her enduring engagement to Dick, who seems to be in a state of discontentment. As discussions of their lives unfold, it becomes clear that Dick feels overshadowed by Austin, contributing to a growing sense of tension. Meanwhile, Viviette's playful flirtations and the arrival of Lord Banstead add a layer of complication to the existing relationship dynamics. The opening of the novel establishes a backdrop of familial loyalty intertwined with romantic entanglements, setting the stage for deeper conflicts as Viviette must ultimately choose between the affections of her two brothers and face the repercussions of that choice.
