Seton (Henry Seton) Suspense, Volume 1 (of 3) $aLondon :$bRichard Bentley and Son, $c1890. Al Haines "Suspense, Volume 1 (of 3)" by Henry Seton Merriman is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds primarily aboard the yacht "Hermione", where the key characters, including the young, thoughtful Brenda Gilholme and the enigmatic Theo Trist, engage in contemplations about love, life, and the expectations placed upon them by society. The narrative hints at a brewing conflict concerning their complex relationships, particularly influenced by their contrasting natures and backgrounds. At the start of the novel, Brenda is introduced as a reflective and intelligent young woman, who grapples with her insecurities, particularly in the shadow of her beautiful and more socially adept sister, Alice. Despite enjoying her time aboard the yacht and the serenity of the fjord’s surroundings, Brenda’s thoughts linger on Theo Trist—a man who carries a blend of gentleness and strength but appears burdened by his past experiences. The opening chapters establish a strong sense of character dynamics and foreshadow a sense of impending tension, as they explore the distinctions between societal roles, love, and personal identity amid the tumultuous backdrop of nature and historical contexts. The delicate interplay of emotions sets the stage for a deepening narrative filled with suspense and personal dilemmas that promise to challenge the decisions of the characters involved.
