Summary "Mystery at Geneva: An Improbable Tale of Singular Happenings" by Rose Macaulay is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of an imaginary session of the League of Nations Assembly, it features Henry, a disillusioned newspaper correspondent, as the protagonist. The narrative touches upon themes of political intrigue, cynicism towards authority, and the complex relationships among delegates in a fraught international setting, promising readers an engaging mix of mystery and societal critique. The opening of the story introduces Henry Beechtree, who is portrayed as a disenchanted journalist for a revolutionary publication. As he navigates the run-down corners of Geneva, he observes the bustling arrival of delegates at the League of Nations Assembly, contrasting their privilege with his own grim lodging situation. Through Henry’s eyes, the reader gains insight into the dynamics of the Assembly, the colorful array of international representatives, and the undercurrents of tension among them. His growing suspicion of foul play regarding the sudden disappearance of Dr. Svensen, a prominent delegate, sets the stage for intrigue, as Henry starts to connect the dots between the potential motives of various factions involved in the Assembly. The narrative teases the unraveling of dark secrets and political machinations, engaging the reader with both the mystery at hand and the explorative character of its protagonist.
