Summary "Love" by Elizabeth Von Arnim is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores themes of romance, longing, and societal expectations as it follows the blossoming attachment between Christopher Monckton, a free-spirited young man, and Catherine Cumfrit, a widow with a complex past. Their relationship unfolds in the context of shared experiences at the theater, gradually revealing deeper emotional connections and personal struggles. At the start of the novel, the protagonists meet at a performance of "The Immortal Hour." Initially unaware of each other's presence, Christopher becomes captivated by Catherine during her multiple visits to the theater. As they begin to talk, Christopher learns that Catherine is a widow, and his attraction deepens as he imagines a connection that transcends their brief encounters. Their conversations are marked by humor and affection, yet underlying tensions arise from Catherine's previous marriage and the lingering presence of her late husband, George. The opening chapters set up a tender exploration of love, self-discovery, and vulnerability, capturing the essence of intimate connections in an evolving society.
