"Some Builders" by Amy Le Feuvre is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Randolph Neville, a man grappling with the recent heartbreak of losing his betrothed, Eva, to another man. As he seeks solace in the countryside, he encounters Sidney Urquhart, a strong-willed young woman coping with her own emotional turmoil, which adds layers to their interactions and developments. The opening of the novel sets the stage with Randolph's poignant reflection on his broken engagement while alone in a punt by the river. He overhears Sidney expressing her grief, and through their shared thoughts, we learn they both have experienced significant loss—Randolph with his lost love, and Sidney with the betrayal of someone she once loved. As the story progresses, Randolph plans to escape conventional life by visiting his cousin Monica Pembroke, who is hard at work on her farm. This lays the groundwork for a network of relationships and emotional healing as both characters navigate their heartaches while forming new connections.
