Summary "The Council of Seven" by J. C. Snaith is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around the character Helen Sholto, who finds herself caught in a political and personal crisis involving her fiancé, John Endor, a rising politician embroiled in a scandal over a statement he did not make, and her employer, Saul Hartz, a powerful figure in the newspaper industry. The narrative explores themes of love, loyalty, and the influence of the press on public opinion. At the start of the book, Helen Sholto, after leaving her office, purchases a newspaper that reports a troubling speech by John Endor, leading to her urgent need to speak with him. Despite her love for John, she struggles with the implications of his words and the potential damage they might cause to his reputation. As Helen attempts to navigate her own emotional turmoil and her commitment to John, the complexities of Hartz's manipulative nature begin to surface, indicating a greater conflict between personal values and the influence of powerful media forces. This opening sets the stage for a clash between individual integrity and the manipulative powers of public perception. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
