"Sonia Married" by Stephen McKenna is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story continues the exploration of themes introduced in the earlier work "Sonia," revolving around the experiences of the main character, Sonia, and her relationships against the backdrop of the socio-political turmoil following World War I. Central to the narrative are characters such as David O'Rane, Sonia's husband, and various others navigating the complexities and estrangements brought about by the war. The opening of "Sonia Married" sets the stage with reflections on the aftermath of a year spent in an Austrian internment camp, where the protagonist, Raymond Stornaway, grapples with feelings of dislocation and loneliness upon his return to a drastically changed England. The narrative dives into his impressions of London streets filled with soldiers and civilians, revealing a society in flux. Through interactions with characters such as George Oakleigh and the lively atmosphere of Sonia and O'Rane's domestic life, Stornaway's journey unfolds, highlighting the contrast between past and present, the burdens of wartime service, and the complexities of personal relationships in a world striving for normalcy amidst chaos. The tone introduces a blend of introspection and social commentary, preparing readers for the unfolding drama that explores the interplay of love, loyalty, and the consequences of war.
