Summary "If Winter Comes" by A. S. M. Hutchinson is a novel set in the early 20th century, specifically around the year 1912. The story introduces Mark Sabre, a reflective thirty-four-year-old husband navigating his life in the quaint village of Penny Green. The narrative delves into themes of societal expectations, relationships, and the complexities of life, particularly focusing on the tensions within Mark's marriage to Mabel, whose contrasting views and social class create friction between them. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Mark Sabre through a conversation with a mutual acquaintance, Hapgood, who reminisces about their school days. This sets the tone of nostalgia and provides insight into Mark's character as someone whose contemplative nature persists from youth into adulthood. The beginning highlights the picturesque village of Penny Green, rich with details about its inhabitants and their connections, particularly the strained dynamics between Mark and Mabel, who seems largely disinterested in her surroundings and the lives of those around her. Mark’s reflective musings about the village and his growing concerns about their differing perspectives on life hint at deeper conflicts and foreshadow the exploration of their relationship as the story unfolds.
