Title The Vision of Desire
Credits Prepared by Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders
Summary "The Vision of Desire" by Margaret Pedler is a novel dating from the early 20th century. It explores themes of love, desire, and the tension between personal aspirations and societal expectations, set against a backdrop of luxurious European settings. The story centers around a strong-willed young woman, Ann Lovell, and her interactions with Tony Brabazon, as they navigate complex emotional landscapes shaped by their pasts and financial circumstances. The opening of the novel introduces a poignant scene where Eliot receives a letter of rejection from a woman he loves, which leads to deep reflections on love and loss. In the subsequent chapters, we meet Ann and Tony in Switzerland. Ann, a woman deeply aware of her responsibilities, tries to protect Tony from the pitfalls of gambling inherited from his father’s legacy, while Tony grapples with his own feelings for Ann amidst societal pressures. The narrative sets a tone of romantic tension as Ann helps Tony confront his identity and the expectations placed upon him, while also dealing with her own complicated feelings and obligations.
