Summary "To Him That Hath: A Tale of the West of Today" by Ralph Connor is a novel set in the early 20th century that reflects on life in a small Canadian town. The narrative introduces us to Captain Jack Maitland, a war veteran grappling with the painful memories and emotional strains of his recent past, as well as the challenges of reintegrating into civilian life. The book delves into themes of friendship, rivalry, and the psychological scars left by war through the interactions of Jack with friends and newcomers like Rupert Stillwell and the spirited Annette Perrotte. The opening of the novel begins with a lively tennis match that sets the stage for the social dynamics among the characters. We see a spirited rivalry between Jack and Stillwell, enriched by the playful banter of their companions, including the assertive Frances Amory, who encourages Jack. As tensions rise during the match, we witness glimpses of deeper issues, such as Jack's internal struggles stemming from the war, the relationship with his family, and the social expectations he faces. The scene also hints at burgeoning romances and personal conflicts, particularly through the character of Annette, whose own backstory and ambitions become central to the unfolding drama within the town. Overall, the beginning establishes a framework of societal interactions, making it clear that the narrative will explore the multi-layered impacts of war and relationships against a backdrop of small-town life.
