A Witch of the Hills, v. 1 [of 2]

"A Witch of the Hills, v. 1 [of 2]" by Florence Warden is a story set in the late 1800s, focusing on Henry Lyttleton Maude's journey as he reflects on his past loves, especially his connection with Lady Helen Normanton, within a world of riches and high-society rules. The story looks at love, who people are, and the results of choices, following Maude as he deals with how his life has changed and what others think of him. At first, Maude thinks about his old, carefree life and how getting rich after his brother died changed everything. His love for Lady Helen makes him see things differently, and we watch him change from a selfish young man into someone who understands his feelings and the effects of what he does. After an accident at a shooting party leaves him disfigured, Maude starts to question his place and others affections, and this is a pivotal moment that makes him look at love and life in a new way.
