| 520 | _a"The High Heart" by Basil King is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Alexandra Adare, a young Canadian woman navigating social dynamics and familial expectations in American high society. As she works as a nursery governess, her life becomes intertwined with the affluent Brokenshire family, particularly involving her complex feelings towards Hugh Brokenshire, who aspires to marry her despite his father's disapproval. The opening of the novel introduces us to Alexandra's life and circumstances as she becomes acquainted with the Rossiters, a family that showcases the intricate dynamics of class and expectation. She reflects on her past experiences and interactions with Mrs. Rossiter while forming her perceptions about her new role. The stage is set for the conflict as Alexandra encounters various family members and other social figures, notably the imposing J. Howard Brokenshire, Hugh's father, who represents the societal pressures that dictate their paths. Through Alexandra’s perspective, we gain insight into her thoughts on love, duty, and the struggle between personal desires and external expectations, hinting at a central conflict that will unfold as the narrative progresses.
