The Tragic Bride
E-text prepared by Al Haines
"The Tragic Bride" by Francis Brett Young is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the life of Gabrielle Hewish, the last survivor of the Hewish family in the remote county of Galway, Ireland, delving into themes of love, loss, and the struggles of familial legacy. The narrative takes a poignant look at Gabrielle's upbringing, her relationship with her father, Sir Jocelyn Hewish, and the dramatic impact of her fateful connection with Radway, a young naval officer. At the start of the book, the narrator reflects on his knowledge of Gabrielle Hewish, whom he never met but learns about through the tale recounted to him by Mrs. Payne. This introduction sets the stage for an exploration of Gabrielle's tragic circumstances and the downfall of her family. Through vivid descriptions of the Hewish estate, Roscarna, and its decaying grandeur, the opening establishes a strong sense of place and history. As the story unfolds, we see Gabrielle grow up under the care of her alcoholic father and the housekeeper, Biddy, leading to her first taste of the world beyond Roscarna during a visit to Dublin, where her innocence becomes entangled with the emerging complexities of adult emotions, culminating in her ill-fated romance with Radway.
