520 _a"The Call of the Blood" by Robert Hichens is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story seems to focus on themes of love, beauty, and complex human relationships, primarily revolving around the character Hermione Lester and her interactions with two pivotal men in her life: the artist Emile Artois and her fiancé, Maurice Delarey. As Hermione navigates her personal connections, the narrative explores the contrast between intellect and physical beauty, as well as the emotional undercurrents that shape their relationships. At the start of the novel, Hermione awaits a visit from Emile Artois while reading a collection of his letters. She is depicted as a woman who, despite her plain appearance, possesses an attractive spirit and intellect that captivates those around her. As they meet, the dynamic between them evolves, revealing the depth of their friendship and Emile's curiosity regarding her seemingly sudden engagement to the handsome but less intellectually gifted Maurice Delarey. The opening introduces rich characterizations, layered dialogues, and sets the tone for an exploration of existential themes as Hermione responds to society's views on marriage, individuality, and the essence of true love.
