"The Lords of High Decision" by Meredith Nicholson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around familial dynamics and societal expectations as it follows Wayne Craighill and his sister Fanny, who confront the implications of their father's imminent second marriage to a younger woman, Adelaide Allen. The narrative delves into themes of love, resentment, and the complexities of moving forward after loss. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a dinner at the Craighill household where tension brews as Wayne meets his sister Fanny. They suspect their father is about to announce a marriage that could disrupt their family bond, especially as they still mourn their deceased mother. As Colonel Craighill shares details about his discussions in Washington and the impending announcement, the siblings struggle between familial love and their growing discontent about the situation. This opening sets the stage for the exploration of their conflicts, ambitions, and the societal norms that enforce expectations within their circle. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
