| Summary | "A Romance of Toronto (Founded on Fact): A Novel" by Annie G. Savigny is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a group of characters, including Mr. Buckingham, a wealthy bachelor contemplating matrimony, and Mr. Dale and his wife, who explore the beauty and charm of Toronto as they connect with local society. The narrative delves into themes of love, wealth, and the complexities of relationships against the backdrop of Toronto's vibrant atmosphere. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the idyllic setting of Lake Ontario as Mr. Dale and Mr. Buckingham chat about life and the dynamics of marriage. The conversation touches on the impossibility of happiness without companionship, with Mr. Buckingham expressing his conflicted desire for a particular woman in Toronto while grappling with the idea of wealth as a prerequisite for love. Meanwhile, Mrs. Dale seeks to learn more about Toronto from her friend Mrs. Gower, who describes the city in wonderfully rich metaphors. As the characters arrive in Toronto, the lively atmosphere and interactions hint at a tapestry of social engagements and personal dilemmas that will unfold in the chapters to come.
