This union is arranged not out of love, but due to social expectations and the pressures of wealth and status. As the story unfolds, the characters are drawn into a web of secrets and mysteries, with hidden motives driving the tension between them. The marriage, initially cold and transactional, becomes a battleground of emotional conflict as Zara and Tancred grapple with their own feelings and the external pressures of their social world. Themes of betrayal and trust are woven throughout the story, as the characters learn to navigate the complexities of loyalty and love. Glyn’s vivid portrayal of the early 1900s society, combined with the intense emotional struggles of her characters, makes "The Reason Why" a gripping exploration of the power of love and the impact of societal expectations on personal relationships.
