| Summary | "Vision House" by C. N. Williamson and A. M. Williamson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds aboard the ocean liner "Britannia" during its voyage from Liverpool to New York, focusing on the interactions of the main characters—Marise Sorel, a rising actress, and Major Lord Severance, an aristocrat with a complicated past. The novel explores themes of ambition, social class, and romance as the characters navigate their relationships and reputations amidst the backdrop of a post-war society. The opening of the book introduces the setting aboard the ship, where passengers are beginning to form connections after days of isolation at sea. As the voyage progresses, Marise Sorel is highlighted as a captivating figure, the object of admiration from those aboard, including Lord Severance, who is equally intrigued and possessive. We also encounter John Garth, an American V.C. struggling with his identity and social acceptance among the British elite, who becomes an indirect rival to Severance. The dynamics of attraction, jealousy, and societal expectations set the stage for a complex interplay of relationships as Marise and these men confront their desires and ambitions.
