"Anne Page" by Netta Syrett is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the character of Anne Page, who is depicted as a graceful and beautiful woman, despite being not young anymore. The narrative begins in her idyllic garden at Fairholme Court, setting a tone of nostalgia and exploration of her relationships with the people around her, particularly the guests who come to dinner at her home. The opening of the novel paints a picturesque image of Anne Page's serene life, highlighting her beauty and the enchanting qualities of her garden at twilight. As she prepares for her dinner guests, including the Vicar, his wife, and her old friend François Fontenelle, we get a sense of Anne's charm and her ability to connect with others. The arrival of François stirs memories and deeper conversations, revealing layers of her character and relationships that provide an intriguing insight into her past and the complexities of her present life.
