Summary "Lavinia" by Rhoda Broughton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Lavinia Carew and the tumultuous relationships she navigates with her friends and family, particularly concerning Féodorovna Prince's unorthodox declaration of love to a general, which stirs scandal and intrigue. The book explores themes of love, societal expectations, and the complexities of female friendships within a historical setting. At the start of the novel, Lavinia visits her friend Mrs. Prince, who is in distress over her daughter Féo's recent actions. Féo has boldly professed her love to a general, and the conversation unfolds with Lavinia and Mrs. Prince grappling with the embarrassment and societal implications of Féo's behavior. The dialogue reveals insights into Lavinia's character as someone who balances sympathy with a deep-seated incredulity at Féo's pursuit of the general. The mix of excitement and dread about Féo's unconventionality sets the stage for a broader exploration of love and reputation that promises to weave a complex web of social dynamics throughout the story.
