| Summary |
"That Which Hath Wings: A Novel of the Day" by Richard Dehan is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the lives of Francis, Viscount Norwater, and his wife Margot, who navigate the trials and tribulations of their newlywed life just before the onset of World War I. Their passionate romance is juxtaposed against societal expectations and Miss Margot's struggle with the idea of motherhood which complicates their relationship. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Franky and Margot on the occasion of their wedding in January 1914. The narrative captures their vibrant courtship, set against the backdrop of a glamorous but superficial social scene. Yet, their idyllic life takes a drastic turn as Margot grapples with the implications of impending motherhood and societal pressure, leading to poignant conversations between the couple. This opening sets the stage for the exploration of love, societal norms, and the looming shadows of war that threaten to reshape their lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
