Summary "Stray Memories" by Alice Vansittart Strettel Carr is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The book provides a personal account chronicling the life and experiences of J. Comyns Carr, an influential figure in the Victorian art and literary scene, as told from the perspective of his wife. It reflects on their courtship, early marriage, and Carr's career, delving into the social circles and friendships that shaped their lives. The opening of the memoir introduces the reader to the moment Alice first met her future husband in June 1873 during a French play at the Royalty Theatre in London. Through her eyes, we witness the excitement of that evening and her transition from a sheltered life in Italy to the vibrant Bohemian society of London. As the story unfolds, Alice shares details of their early interactions and reflects on Carr's youthful enthusiasm for art, setting the stage for a journey that explores their shared experiences, artistic ambitions, and the relationships with notable figures of their time.
