"Jocelyn" by John Sinjohn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative introduces us to the emotionally complex character of Giles Legard, who grapples with feelings of isolation and longing in his life, especially amidst his interactions with the vibrant and youthful Jocelyn. As themes of love, companionship, and the struggles of self-identity unfold, the backdrop of the Italian Riviera enhances the sense of longing and the contrast between the tranquil yet stagnant life he shares with his ailing wife and the invigorating presence of Jocelyn. At the start of the story, we find Giles Legard in a contemplative mood while sitting on a terrace, reflecting on his life and marriage to Irma, a Polish woman confined to the role of an invalid. As he engages with her at their hotel, he is reminded of his feelings towards the lively young woman, Jocelyn, who brings a rush of emotions to the surface. The narrative delves into the complexities of Giles's relationships, painting a vivid picture of his internal struggles and the intense emotional backdrop as he finds himself drawn to Jocelyn amidst the struggles of his marriage. The feeling of yearning for something more and the push and pull between duty and desire create a rich, evocative atmosphere, setting the stage for the development of their relationship.
