Œ. Somerville is a novel set in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in both England and Ireland, weaving together the lives of various characters as they navigate social interactions and personal conflicts. The narrative appears to center around Lady Susan and her family, alongside supporting characters like Major Bunbury and Miss Slaney, exploring themes of relationships, tradition, and the intersection of Irish folklore with daily life. The opening of the novel introduces Lady Susan, who is in a somewhat humorous, yet irritable mood due to her hunger while gathered with her friends and family at Hurlingham. Despite the warmth of the setting and the playful camaraderie with her companions, she conveys a distinct superiority and frivolity that sets her apart from others, particularly with the newcomer, Miss Slaney. Displaying subtle social tensions, Slaney's observations reveal her embarrassment and sense of inadequacy in this lively English social circle. As Lady Susan dives into lighthearted banter and plans for hunting activities, the narrative hints at underlying conflicts and traditional expectations that will unfold as the story progress, particularly regarding an intriguing, potentially supernatural, grey fox tied to local folklore that reflects the intricacies of culture and belief in rural Ireland.
