The Rider in Khaki: A Novel
Produced by Al Haines
"The Rider in Khaki: A Novel" by Nat Gould is a fictional narrative likely written in the early 20th century. This story centers around Alan Chesney, a former officer who has returned to his family estate in Nottinghamshire. It explores themes of love, duty, and social expectations as Alan navigates his relationships with his friends and the captivating Evelyn Berkeley, while also hinting at underlying tensions related to impending war. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Alan and his friends as they engage in lighthearted discussions regarding his potential marriage to Evelyn, a beautiful woman from a wealthy family. The beginning sets up the social landscape, highlighting Alan's reluctance to commit to marriage despite his attraction to Evelyn. Meanwhile, we meet Jane Thrush, the daughter of the estate’s gamekeeper, who provides a contrast to the upper-class characters through her modest and nature-loving lifestyle. The opening chapters establish character dynamics and foreshadow future conflicts, especially with the mention of a mysterious German spy that adds an element of suspense to Alan's idyllic life at Trent Park.
