"The House of Dreams-Come-True" by Margaret Pedler is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Jean Peterson, a young woman about to embark on a journey that intertwines themes of loss, love, and the search for identity. At the outset, the reader meets Jean and her father, Glyn Peterson, who appears to be restless and haunted by the memory of his deceased wife, Jacqueline. Their conversation hints at impending changes, particularly a trip to England, which stirs excitement and expectations for Jean, while revealing the contrasting characters of her dreamer father and her pragmatic self. The beginning of the novel introduces Jean and Glyn in a vast hall, where their intimate yet complex relationship begins to unfold. As Glyn grapples with his emotional turmoil over Jacqueline’s death, he resolves to travel alone, urging Jean to visit Lady Anne Brennan in England. This setup not only hints at Jean’s desire for adventure but also foreshadows her independent journey ahead. Their dynamic is further complicated by Glyn's struggle to come to terms with the past while Jean seeks to carve out her own identity—an exploration that promises to deepen as their paths diverge throughout the narrative. The opening effectively sets the stage for themes of nostalgia, freedom, and the pursuit of dreams that will likely resonate through the rest of the novel.
