(George Henry) Edwards, George Henry David Fleming's Forgiveness Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England "David Fleming's Forgiveness" by Margaret Murray Robertson is a historical novel likely written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the lives of early settlers in Canada, particularly focusing on the Holt and Fleming families, as they navigate the challenges of establishing a new life while dealing with personal trials and community dynamics. The author sets a rich backdrop of rural life, echoing themes of labor, resilience, and moral dilemmas intertwined with the spirit of forgiveness. At the start of the novel, we meet the Holt brothers, who are among the first settlers in a Canadian valley, laying the foundations for a new community. As they cultivate the land and build a village named Gershom, we learn about the struggles and triumphs of both the Holts and their neighbors, the Flemings. The narrative introduces Mr. Fleming and his family, who grapple with sorrow stemming from the loss of their son, Hugh, and the resulting bitterness towards Jacob Holt due to financial entanglements. Thus, the opening chapters establish a complex web of relationships marked by both interdependence and conflict, setting the stage for deeper explorations of forgiveness and moral reckoning among the characters as the story unfolds.
