Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Clean Heart" by A. S. M. Hutchinson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Philip Wriford, a thirty-year-old man who is perceived as one of the lucky ones due to his success in life and career. However, beneath this façade, Wriford grapples with an inner turmoil that hints at deeper issues regarding his mental health and personal relationships. The opening of the novel introduces us to Mr. Wriford during a visit to Brida, a woman he has feelings for but struggles to connect with meaningfully. The dialogue reveals his apprehensions and the weight he feels from his emotional state, portraying him as a complex character oscillating between despair and a desire for genuine connection. As he leaves Brida's flat, we see him reflect on his struggles with self-identity, the chaos in his mind, and his deep-seated fears about his mental well-being. This sets the stage for an exploration of Wriford's internal conflicts, which are likely to unfold throughout the narrative.
