Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"We Two: A Novel" by Edna Lyall is a work of fiction set in the late 19th century. The novel explores themes of love, identity, and societal prejudice through the lives of its main characters, Brian Osmond, a young doctor, and Erica Raeburn, the daughter of an atheist leader. Their lives intersect in a London beset by social and religious divisions, as both grapple with their emotions and the harsh realities of their backgrounds. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Brian, who, amid the bustle of city life, becomes enamored with a "little girl" he encounters daily on his walk. This girl, Erica, faces her own struggles at home, dealing with social ostracism due to her father's controversial beliefs. The initial chapters reveal Brian's growing affection for Erica, while she is concurrently dealing with personal turmoil over her friendship with another girl, which has come under threat due to social prejudices. As Brian and Erica's paths converge, they reflect differing worldviews shaped by their families, setting the stage for deeper conflicts and philosophical debates as the narrative unfolds.
