"Wife in Name Only" by Charlotte M. Brame is a novel written during the late 19th century. This story unfolds around Dr. Stephen Letsom, who has been struggling with disappointment and the burdens of a failed medical practice in the quaint town of Castledene, Kent. As he contemplates his unfulfilled life on a melancholy autumn night, he unexpectedly receives a visitor—a nobleman in distress, pleading for urgent medical assistance for his wife. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the somber world of Dr. Letsom, highlighting his financial and emotional struggles as he reflects on his past love, now lost to time. The tone is heavy with a sense of impending tragedy as the visiting nobleman, Lord Charlewood, arrives with his fragile wife, Lady Charlewood, whose condition quickly worsens. The narrative then takes a dramatic turn as the story delves into the complications arising from their unexpected union and the subsequent challenges faced by both the doctor and the nobleman as they navigate love, loss, and social expectations. This initial chapter sets the stage for intertwined fates and emotional turmoil that promises to unravel as the story progresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
