"The Man Who Won" by Mrs. Baillie Reynolds is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of a politically charged environment in South Africa, the story revolves around complex characters entangled in love, rivalry, and societal expectations. The main character, Bert Mestaer, grapples with his affections for Millie Lutwyche as well as the socio-political strife of his time. The opening of the novel introduces a gathering outside Lutwyche's farm, where men express their boredom during a political debate while anxiously awaiting news about the ailing Mr. Lutwyche. It highlights the mixed sentiments towards English and Boer relations, layering the narrative with tension. Bert Mestaer is notably preoccupied with Millie, showing concern for her well-being as he navigates through local rivalry, especially with Amurrica, who shows interest in Millie. The scenes reveal not just the struggle of love between Bert and Millie but also the societal pressures and potential danger she faces from her stepmother, Tante Wilma. The implications of class, heritage, and personal desires are deftly established, suggesting a plot driven by both personal and external conflicts that will unfold in the subsequent chapters.
