Baskerville is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the backdrop of interwar Poland, detailing the social dynamics and romantic entanglements of the characters within the noble Ruvno estate. Central to the narrative are Ian, his mother Countess Natalie, and Vanda, their cousin, as they navigate love and familial expectations against a backdrop of impending conflict. The opening of the novel introduces Ian and his mother, Countess Natalie, as they discuss the arrival of Roman and Joseph Skarbek, both of whom are vying for Vanda's affections. Ian's inner conflict grows as he acknowledges his fondness for Vanda while grappling with the realization that he might be losing her to his more flamboyant cousin Roman. As romantic tensions rise, the narrative hints at deeper themes of duty, love, and societal expectations, while also foreshadowing the disruptions of war that threaten to engulf their lives. The stage is set for a compelling exploration of loyalty and loss amidst the shifting tides of history.
