Summary "Circe's Daughter" by Priscilla Craven is a novel written in the early 20th century." The story unfolds through the lives of various characters centered around Gilbert Currey, a young barrister, and Claudia Iverson, the daughter of the enigmatic and scandalous Circe. The book delves into themes of ambition, personal happiness, and the complexities of relationships against the backdrop of early 1900s British society. "The opening of the novel introduces several key characters during a dinner gathering at Gilbert Currey's flat, as they celebrate both his birthday and a recent victory in court." Gilbert, a determined young man on the rise in his legal career, interacts with his friends, including Carey Image, a former barrister turned travel writer, who reminisces about his own life choices. The dinner conversation meanders through topics of ambition and the nature of success, setting the stage for the conflicts that will arise when Gilbert considers marrying Claudia Iverson. Claudia, introduced through her intriguing family background, becomes a focal point for Gilbert, whose mother, Lady Currey, expresses her disapproval of the match, fearing the influence of Claudia's mother. This intricate web of relationships and societal expectations forms the foundation for the personal struggles that will unfold in the narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
