Sackville-West is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with the death of Miss Chase, which sets off a series of events that drastically change the life of her nephew Peregrine Chase, who comes into his unexpected inheritance of the family estate, Blackboys. As Chase navigates the complexities of his new role, he wrestles with the burdens of his aristocratic legacy and the surrounding expectations, despite his previous life being far removed from the responsibilities that his new title entails. The opening of the novel introduces us to the aftermath of Miss Chase's death, depicted with a blend of dark humor and social commentary from the perspectives of the solicitors and her heir, Peregrine Chase. As the funeral and estate matters unfold, the narrative explores Chase's inner turmoil and his trepidation about assuming his role as the heir. He grapples with feelings of inadequacy and confusion concerning his new identity and the expectations that come with it, all while he becomes more intimately acquainted with the estate and its history. This intricate interplay of personal reflection and societal dynamics sets the stage for a deeper exploration of love, belonging, and the legacy of heritage throughout the novel.
