Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Sekhet" by Irene Miller is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story presents Evarne Stornway, a strikingly beautiful young woman navigating her complicated life, influenced heavily by the ideals of her father, who idolized physical beauty and classical antiquity. As she grapples with the realities of loss and love, Evarne is poised for a journey that interlaces personal ambition with romantic entanglements. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Evarne, who is rushing to find medical help for her dying father, Leo Stornway. Evarne's physical beauty is established alongside her unique upbringing, which eschewed conventional societal norms for a more classical and artistic lifestyle. The relationship between Evarne and her father is underscored by their shared ideals, but Leo's imminent death casts a shadow on Evarne’s future, as she realizes that she will soon be left alone without means of support. It is here that we sense the arrival of Morris Kenyon, Leo's old friend, who becomes a pivotal figure in Evarne’s life, offering not only companionship but also a glimpse into new possibilities—setting the stage for a complex interplay of desire, loyalty, and ambition that will unfold as the plot progresses.
