Dell is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Maud Brian, a young woman burdened by the care of her disabled brother Bunny and the challenges posed by their current financial instability. Maud's struggles are intensified by her mother's decision to remarry a man whom Maud finds repulsive, leading to her deep-seated resentment and internal conflict about their dire circumstances. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the complexities of the Brian family. Maud's protective nature towards Bunny, who relies on her for care after a crippling injury in his infancy, is palpable. Their situation is further complicated by Lady Brian's intentions to marry Mr. Sheppard, a self-made man from a lower social class, which sparks Maud's outrage and a desperate sense of helplessness. The opening portions lay the groundwork for the emotional and familial tensions that define Maud's life, setting her on a path fraught with moral dilemmas and the possibility of new relationships, such as with Jake Bolton, a horse trainer who is both a friend and a potential threat to her established worldview.
