Through the Postern Gate: A Romance in Seven Days
Produced by Al Haines
"Through the Postern Gate: A Romance in Seven Days" by Florence L. Barclay is a romantic novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young man, referred to as the Boy, and his affection towards his aunt, Miss Christobel Charteris. The narrative unfolds over the course of seven days, exploring themes of love, aspiration, and the complexities of age differences in romance. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Boy as he confesses his deep feelings for Christobel while enjoying tea beneath an old mulberry tree. The Boy, full of youthful enthusiasm and charm, has clearly romantic intentions but must navigate Christobel's reservations about their age difference and the expectations surrounding their relationship. Through playful conversation and reminiscences, the narrative establishes a tension between the innocence of his affection and her more mature concerns, setting the stage for the unfolding romance over the designated seven days. The opening portion beautifully captures the budding emotions and introduces the central conflict that drives the narrative forward. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
