"What Dreams May Come" by Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of an exquisite and historical Constantinople, a city brimming with cultural richness, beauty, and intrigue. The novel introduces the complex dynamics surrounding Harold Dartmouth, an aimless young Englishman searching for meaning and excitement in life, as well as Weir Penrhyn, a beautiful yet mysterious Welsh beauty. Their interactions hint at deeper themes of destiny, ambition, and the search for connection amidst a lavish social tapestry. The opening of the novel immerses readers in a vividly described scene within the grand English Embassy in Constantinople. At a dinner party, the interactions between characters like Sir Dafyd and Mrs. Dartmouth hint at underlying marital tensions and ambitions. The narrative then shifts to Harold Dartmouth, who is depicted as a charismatic but discontented figure, musing over his lack of direction in life. His encounter with the captivating Miss Penrhyn sets the stage for their budding relationship, which is filled with tension and attraction. The atmosphere shifts between the social veneer of the embassy and the introspective desires of the central characters, suggesting a conflict between societal expectations and personal fulfillment that will unfold as the story progresses.
