| 520 | _a"The Kingdom of the Blind" by E. Phillips Oppenheim is a novel likely written during the early 20th century. The story unfolds primarily in a high-society setting at the Ritz Hotel, focusing on characters involved in wartime dynamics as they navigate their personal relationships and intrigue amidst the backdrop of World War I. Central to the beginning of the narrative are Lady Anselman and her guests, including her wounded nephew Captain Ronald Granet whose return from the front is a point of interest, alongside other notable personalities like Surgeon-Major Thomson. The opening of the novel introduces Lady Anselman as she eagerly awaits her nephew's arrival at a luncheon gathering. The mix of guests, ranging from an actress to a Cabinet Minister, sets a lively tone that juxtaposes with the somber reality of war, particularly highlighted by Granet’s injuries. As conversations reveal the characters’ relationships and the social protocols of the time, the tension between them grows, particularly around the guests' feelings towards the war and each other. The interaction between Granet and Thomson hints at deeper connections—suggesting potential intrigue and conflict as they navigate their complex roles. This multi-layered social dynamic establishes the groundwork for a narrative rich in character development, suspense, and exploration of trust and loyalty during tumultuous times.
