"Guy and Pauline" by Compton MacKenzie is a story unfolding in the early 1900s, centering on Guy Hazlewood, a young poet starting a new life in the quiet village of Plashers Mead, as he tries to write poetry away from the bustling city life. His world changes as he meets and begins to deal with three sisters from the Rectory, specifically developing feelings for Pauline. The story captures the feelings of wanting to do and be more, the idea of true love, and the ways of living in the countryside as Guy learns to live in his new home. As Guy settles in, his interactions with villagers hint at the love and social problems that will begin to arise, especially involving the Greys, mainly Pauline. The book shows the difference between Guy's dreams and the actual events of his life in Wychford.
