"Helen of Troy; and Rose" by Phyllis Bottome is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story appears to explore complex themes of relationships, loss, and the impact of the past on the present, focusing on the main character, Horace Lestrange, who grapples with the memory of his deceased wife as he contemplates marriage to another woman, Edith Walton. The narrative delves into the emotional turmoil of Horace and his family dynamics, highlighting the tension between new beginnings and lingering grief. The opening of the novel introduces us to Horace Lestrange, who is engaged in a seemingly simple pastime of skipping stones but is deeply preoccupied with his emotional landscape following the death of his wife and the subsequent responsibilities of fatherhood. As he considers marriage to Edith, we learn of his son, Leslie, and the challenges that come with integrating a new woman into their lives after his earlier loss. The tension heightens as Horace's sister, Miss Lestrange, raises concerns about Edith's suitability as a stepmother, which complicates Horace's decisions further. The narrative sets up promises of familial conflict and emotional complexity as relationships evolve and intertwine amidst the backdrop of grief and love.
