Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Lucinda" by Anthony Hope is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the complex relationships of the characters, particularly focusing on Lucinda Knyvett, who appears to grapple with love and its obligations, as well as the realities of societal expectations. The plot unfolds primarily through the perspective of Julius Rillington, a business ambassador, as he observes the unfolding drama surrounding Lucinda, notably on the day of her wedding. The opening portion of the book introduces the reader to Julius, who reflects on his current life circumstances and his connections with Lucinda and her fiancé, Waldo. Just before Waldo's wedding, Julius encounters a mysterious girl in a taxi, bearing a striking resemblance to Lucinda. As tensions mount around the postponed wedding, caused by Lucinda's sudden disappearance, the narrative delves into themes of love, betrayal, and the complexities of human relationships. Julius's interactions with his uncle Sir Paget and his friend Arsenio Valdez suggest deeper entanglements that will likely affect the characters' fates moving forward. The beginning sets the stage for a blend of romance and drama while hinting at the conflicts that lie ahead.
