Summary | "Sandra Belloni" by George Meredith is a novel written during the late 19th century. The story centers on Emilia Belloni, a young Italian woman with a beautiful voice, who captures the attention of the socially ambitious daughters of a wealthy London merchant, the Poles. Set against a backdrop of societal expectations and aspirations, the narrative delves into themes of art, social status, and personal ambition. The opening of the novel introduces the three Pole sisters, Arabella, Cornelia, and Adela, and sets the stage for their dynamic social lives in Brookfield, where music plays a significant role. They become intrigued by a mysterious voice that echoes through the woods nearby, leading to their desire to uncover its source. Mr. Pericles, a wealthy business associate of their father, appears as a pivotal character who shares their enthusiasm for music and art. As the narrative unfolds, the sisters, motivated by their ambitions, invite the enigmatic Emilia, a talented singer with humble beginnings, into their lives, setting the stage for tensions and social maneuverings that revolve around her emerging talent and potential celebrity.
