"Peace with Honour" by Sydney C. Grier is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Major Dick North and his sister, Mabel, as they navigate the complexities of social expectations, duty, and professional aspirations in the backdrop of British colonial endeavors. The characters are embroiled in personal dilemmas and evolving relationships, particularly between Dick and the independent lady doctor, Georgia Keeling, who is set to accompany him on their mission to Ethiopia. The opening of the novel introduces us to the siblings, Dick and Mabel, who have recently reunited after his service in India. Mabel is eager to showcase her life and social engagements to her brother, who is initially reluctant but soon agrees to join her on a visit to a hospital where she volunteers. The dialogue sets up a playful yet poignant dynamic between them, highlighting Mabel's social ambitions and Dick's soldierly demeanor. As they interact with various characters, including the dedicated Miss Keeling, who represents a modern woman’s pursuit of her career in medicine, themes of gender roles and societal expectations begin to emerge, foreshadowing deeper conflicts and relationships that will develop throughout the narrative.
