Summary

"Sawn Off: A Tale of a Family Tree" by George Manville Fenn is a late 19th-century novel exploring the rivalry between the newly returned Doctor Salado and the aristocratic Lord Pinemount. This story highlights themes of class differences, love, and commitment to family through the evolving relationships, especially those of Salado's daughter, Veronica, and Pinemount's son, Denis. The story begins with tension as Doctor Salado is infuriated by Lord Pinemount's construction project, which spoils the view from his cottage. As Veronica falls for Denis, she finds herself navigating the complicated space between her father's hot temper and the noble family's pride, trying to bridge the gap between them. This sets the stage for a story packed with social insights, personal growth, and emotional conflict as the characters face societal limits, family duties, and romantic interests.
