Leonora Eyles is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces us to Marcella, a young girl living in a desolate farmhouse overshadowed by the haunting legacy of her family's history and her troubled household. The novel explores themes of isolation, the struggle between body and spirit, and the impact of familial expectations on individual desires. At the start of the book, we learn about Marcella's life at the old farmhouse, where she is nurtured by a connection to the land, its history, and her only friend, Hunchback Wullie. The narrative delves into her observations of the barren landscape and her reflections on her family's lineage, interwoven with elements of folklore and mysticism. As Marcella navigates the complexities of her environment and the strained relationship with her father, Andrew, who grapples with his own demons, the stage is set for a deeper exploration of her journey toward self-discovery and liberation from the burdens imposed by her lineage and her father's expectations.
