Vivanti Chartres is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of family, loss, and the complexities of relationships through the lens of Edith Avory and her new family dynamics following the arrival of her half-sister Valeria and Valeria's baby. Readers are introduced to the intricate emotional landscape of the characters as they navigate the challenges posed by grief and the stark realities of life. The opening of "The Devourers" introduces the character of Edith Avory, who is excited about the arrival of the new baby, her half-sister’s child born from a recent tragedy. As she encounters the contrasting feelings of joy and confusion, particularly in her initial disappointment at the baby's appearance, the narrative captures the innocence of childhood mixed with the weight of adult sorrow. The text reveals Edith's interactions with the larger family, including their grieving experiences, and sets the stage for deeper explorations of love, mourning, and childhood naivety as the story unfolds. The juxtaposition of happy family moments against the backdrop of loss creates a poignant atmosphere that draws readers into the emotional challenges each character faces.
