"The Betrayal of John Fordham" by B. L. Farjeon is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around John Fordham, a man in his mid-thirties struggling with the heavy burden of guilt and impending doom after committing a crime he cannot fully remember. As he navigates his feelings of despair and his love for a noble woman named Ellen, Fordham wrestles with the consequences of his actions and the malevolent influence of a vengeful enemy. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to John Fordham, who recounts a tragic event from two years prior that still haunts him and has left him plagued by guilt. As he reflects on his past, he expresses love for Ellen, who has sacrificed her good name for him, and wrestles with the idea of confessing his crime and taking responsibility for his actions. This opening portion sets the stage for a tense psychological exploration of morality, identity, and the impact of betrayal, hinting at a complex narrative filled with emotional turmoil and the quest for redemption. As the plot begins to unfold, it promises an engaging journey through John's conflicts and relationships as he seeks to reconcile his guilt with the love for his family.
