D. Beresford is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Arthur Woodroffe, a young general practitioner who feels discontented with his life treating patients in a poor neighborhood. The narrative begins with his thoughts on seeking a more fulfilling existence, which is sparked by an invitation to visit his wealthy relatives at Hartling, who embody the life he dreams of—a stark contrast to his current drudgery. The opening of the novel introduces us to Arthur as he shares his frustrations about his medical practice with his colleague, Somers. Their conversation reveals Arthur's yearning for change and a deeper significance in life, prompting him to consider visiting his affluent relatives after receiving an invitation. Through Arthur's eyes, we see his inner conflict between wanting a more luxurious lifestyle and the calling of meaningful work. The transition to Hartling hints at potential adventures and self-discovery, setting the stage for the exploration of class, purpose, and the complexities of human relationships that will likely unfold as the story progresses.
