Adrienne by Amy Le Feuvre
"Adrienne" by Amy Le Feuvre is a novel written in the late 1920s. The story revolves around a young woman named Adrienne Chesterton who, while enjoying a happy life with her two uncles in the English countryside, receives a letter from her estranged aunt in France expressing her need for Adrienne's companionship. This letter sets in motion a conflict between familial duties and personal happiness, as Adrienne grapples with whether to leave
her comfortable life behind to support her aunt. At the start of the narrative, Adrienne is introduced as a spirited and caring young woman, deeply integrated into the lives of her uncles, General and Admiral Chesterton. The opening portion details her interactions with them, their lively banter, and her longing for adventure in light of her aunt's invitation. Ultimately, her inner turmoil arises from the choice between loyalty to her family and the fear of losing her current happiness. As she shares her thoughts with a childhood friend, Godfrey, the complexities of duty versus desire become even more pronounced, hinting at the emotional depth and character development to unfold throughout the novel.
