Summary "The Wheels of Time" by Florence L. Barclay is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds within the confines of domestic life, exploring themes of love, duty, and the complex dynamics of marriage. The narrative follows Dr. Deryck Brand and his wife, Flower, showcasing their relationship as they navigate the demands of family, social obligations, and the challenges of Deryck's medical profession. The plot centers on the emotional journey of Flower, who struggles with her husband's expectations and her role as a mother and partner. Deryck, a prominent mind specialist, yearns for his wife's companionship, which manifests as he prepares for an important consultation. Miscommunication and societal pressures create a rift when Flower prioritizes her obligations at home, leading to her husband's disappointment. The climax reveals a shocking twist when Deryck's life hangs in the balance following a tragic accident, prompting Flower to confront her own feelings of regret and the need to genuinely express her love. Ultimately, the novel conveys a poignant message about the importance of being present in relationships and the risks of neglecting those we hold dear. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
