Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Running Water" by A. E. W. Mason is a novel written during the early 20th century, specifically in 1907. The story appears to revolve around the complex relationships and emotional undercurrents among its central characters, notably Mrs. Thesiger and her daughter Sylvia. Through their journey to Chamonix, the narrative sets the stage for themes of nostalgia, loss, and the quest for companionship. At the start of the novel, Mrs. Thesiger is introduced as a woman accustomed to a life of travel with her daughter, Sylvia, who is portrayed as gentle and introspective. Their relationship hints at a deeper tension, as Mrs. Thesiger grapples with her fears regarding what her daughter might know about her past. Sylvia's passion for the mountains is vividly depicted through her dreams and thoughts, which become a source of inspiration and longing, as she yearns for adventure and connection. The opening portion lays the groundwork for an emotionally rich narrative that will likely explore the interplay of personal relationships amidst the backdrop of stunning alpine scenery and societal expectations.
