Andrew Golding: A Tale of the Great Plague Produced by Dave Morgan and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Andrew Golding: A Tale of the Great Plague" by Anne E. Keeling is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story is narrated by Lucia Dacre, who recounts her and her sister Althea's harrowing experiences during the Great Plague, which ravaged London in the summer of 1665. The narrative begins with Lucia's reflections on their current dire situation and the events that have led them to a deserted house in the city, emphasizing themes of loss, survival, and resilience. At the start of the tale, Lucia introduces herself and her sister as they hide away in a London house during the peak of the Plague. They are recent orphans—having lost their father—and long for the love and safety that their aunt, Mrs. Golding, has offered them. As they navigate their grief and uncertainty, they discuss their circumstances and contemplate their future. The opening chapters set a tone of solemnity and introspection while also revealing hope through the supportive relationships they form with others, such as their aunt and the young steward Andrew Golding, who becomes a pivotal figure in their lives. The story hints at the complex social dynamics of the time, as well as the personal challenges faced by the characters amidst a backdrop of societal upheaval.
