'The Lighted Way' is a novel written by E. Phillips Oppenheim. The story follows Arnold Chetwode, once a shining star of wealth and prosperity, who now finds himself in a state of destitution, brought low by the shameful actions of unnamed relatives. Unexpectedly, salvation arrives in the form of the stunning yet on-the-verge of dying Ruth Lalonde, who takes him in and offers him a ray of hope. Arnold finds a job at the bustling wholesale grocery firm of Mr. Weatherley, a hardworking merchant of common stock. But the true fire at the heart of this tale lies with Mr. Weatherley's wife, Fenella Sabatini - a stunning siren shrouded in mystery, known for her extravagance and her association with the devil-may-care and aloof Count Sabatini.
