Summary "Lavinia" by George Sand is a novel likely written in the early 19th century. The story revolves around the titular character, Lady Lavinia Blake, and her complex relationship with Sir Lionel, a man torn between his past affections for Lavinia and his current aspirations for marriage to another woman, Miss Margaret Ellis. The narrative explores themes of love, remorse, and the passage of time. At the start of the novel, the correspondence between Lavinia and Lionel sets the stage for their reunion after a decade apart. Lavinia requests the return of letters and portraits exchanged between them, indicating a lingering connection. Sir Lionel, initially preoccupied with his romantic pursuits and the dynamics of his engagement to Miss Ellis, finds himself entangled in past regrets and emotions as he prepares to meet Lavinia at Saint-Sauveur. The opening portrays his internal conflict between the social expectations of marriage and the unresolved feelings for a woman he once loved deeply, culminating in a sense of inevitability that their lives remain linked despite the years apart.
