| Summary |
"Omenapuu" by John Galsworthy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Frank Ashurst and his wife Stella, who embark on a journey to Torquay to celebrate their wedding anniversary. As they travel, the narrative delves into themes of nostalgia, beauty, and existential longing, suggesting that their lives are intertwined with past events and unfulfilled desires. The opening of the novel introduces Ashurst and Stella as they explore the countryside, reflecting on their lives and love while encountering a grave marked with flowers. Ashurst's musings reveal a yearning for deeper meaning and connection as he grapples with the passage of time and the allure of artistic beauty. The pace slows as they part ways momentarily, leading to Ashurst's recollection of a youthful journey and the lasting impact of memories. This serene yet contemplative introduction sets the stage for a story that will likely explore the complexities of love, the weight of the past, and the beauty found in fleeting moments.
