Synopsis
The Score by Lucas Malet is a sharp social novel that probes the intersections of politics, art, and love in late 19th-century England. The narrative follows Antony Hammond, a polished playwright and observer of human folly; Poppy St. John, a magnetic stage star; and Lucius Denier, a young, ambitious politician who has just won a crucial Westchurch by-election. Through witty glimpses of political strategy, theatrical rehearsal rooms, seaside hotels, and drawing-room diplomacy, the novel explores how public life presses on intimate desires. Denier adores Poppy and seeks to marry her, but Poppy, while drawn to him, recognizes the dangers of a union that might compromise art and independence. The romance unfolds against Hammond’s own complicated entanglements, including a close friendship with Poppy that tests fidelity, ambition, and the price of genius. Malet uses satire and psychological insight to examine the claims of social advancement, the responsibilities of women in public life, and the tension between personal happiness and professional vocation. The Score is a deft, morally challenging study of love, power, and artistry.
