Summary "Idols" by William John Locke is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the complex relationships between three main characters: Irene Merriam, her husband Gerard, and his close friend Hugh Colman. As the narrative begins, it explores themes of love, loyalty, jealousy, and the societal pressures that accompany personal choices. At the start of the novel, two men commit a crime that sets off a chain of events affecting four seemingly unrelated lives. We are introduced to Irene Merriam, a content woman reflecting on her happy life with Gerard and Hugh, both of whom share a deep connection with her. As they engage in conversation and display their differing natures, tensions begin to emerge, particularly with Irene's compassionate concern for a Jewish girl named Minna Hart, who quickly becomes tied to them as her character unfolds. The early chapters lay the groundwork for dramatic developments and moral conflicts rooted in love, friendship, and societal constraints, hinting at deeper struggles to come.
