Summary

"Phroso: A Romance" by Anthony Hope is a gripping tale set in the late 1800s, centered around Lord Charley Wheatley who, disillusioned with society, buys the island of Neopalia seeking peace, but instead finds himself embroiled in a fight against the unwelcoming locals and tangled in a complex family drama involving Euphrosyne and Constantine Stefanopoulos. Initially seeking an idyllic life, Charley's plans quickly unravel when he faces resistance from the islanders who are possessive of their home, trapping him and his companion Denny in a web of thwarted expectations and harsh realities. With the appearance of Euphrosyne, the story gains depth, suggesting familial and political conflicts that threaten to disrupt Charley's ambitions and force him to confront betrayal, loyalty, and the surprising potential for love in the most unexpected circumstances.
