| Summary | "The Tigress" by Anne Warner is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story delves into the complicated life of Nina Darling, a woman caught in the pressures of societal expectations and her tumultuous personal relationships, particularly focusing on her tumultuous interactions with a young civil servant, Gerald Andrews, and her husband, Colonel Darling. Themes of love, betrayal, and the masks people wear in society are explored, inviting readers into a web of emotional conflict and intrigue. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Nina and Gerald during a poignant conversation on a moonlit terrace in Simla. As Nina tells Gerald that "everything is over," his confusion becomes clear, revealing the layers of their relationship. Nina is portrayed as both alluring and enigmatic, a character that evokes contrasting emotions in those around her. The discussion unfolds, revealing Gerald's desperation and Nina's detached cruelty. This initial exchange sets the stage for the impending drama, introducing us to the tension between love, desire, and a sense of duty, while also hinting at deeper backstories that will unfold as the narrative progresses.
