"The Hillman" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Louise, a seemingly detached and self-engrossed woman, who finds herself stranded in a desolate area with her maid and chauffeur when their car breaks down. This predicament leads to an unexpected encounter with a man named John Strangewey, whose life appears starkly different from Louiseās glamorous and urban existence. The opening of the novel introduces Louise as she contemplates the beauty of the remote hills where her vehicle malfunctions. While her maid expresses distress over their situation, Louise remains composed, believing assistance will arrive. Their encounter with John Strangewey, who offers them shelter for the night, marks a significant shift in the narrative. As they begin to journey toward his home, Louise is curious about John and his world, which starkly contrasts her own city life. This interaction hints at themes of class differences and the exploration of personal identity as both characters navigate their unexpected connection amidst the picturesque yet isolated setting.
