Dr. Wainwright's Patient: A Novel
Produced by Charles Bowen from page scans provided by Google Books
"Dr. Wainwright's Patient: A Novel" by Edmund Yates is a fictional narrative set in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Captain Derinzy, who finds himself ensconced in the charming yet changing village of Beachborough, as well as his relationships with his niece Miss Annette and the mysterious doctor, Wainwright. The novel hints at deeper family dynamics and possible romantic tensions, particularly involving Derinzy's interactions with other characters in the village, making it a compelling read for those who enjoy character-driven plots. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Beachborough, a quaint village on the brink of modernization, where Captain Derinzy, a somewhat grumpy yet genteel figure, wanders through the streets that have changed dramatically over the last decade. In the midst of an early evening supper gathering at Mrs. Powler's home, the characters gossip about local happenings, including the Captain's well-being and the health of his niece, Annette. As the narrative progresses, we learn that Annette is an invalid, and the arrival of Dr. Wainwright from London raises questions about her condition. The interactions among Mrs. Powler, Mrs. Jupp, and the doctor depict a mix of local gossip and concern, providing insight into the dynamics of the village and hinting at the complexities of the relationships that will unfold throughout the story.
