Blake's Burden
Produced by Al Haines
"Blake's Burden" by Harold Bindloss is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds around Richard Blake, a disgraced man grappling with his past as he navigates the complexities of his relationships, particularly with the spirited Millicent Graham and the distinguished Mrs. Keith. The novel delves into themes of redemption, societal judgments, and personal growth amid the backdrop of early Canadian society. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Mrs. Keith and her companion, Millicent, as they sit in the picturesque setting of Quebec. Their conversation hints at a vibrant social scene filled with diverse characters, including Captain Sedgwick, who possesses a notable military background, and the elusive Richard Blake, whose shadowy reputation precedes him. The narrative reveals Blake's attempts to distance himself from his past while also exploring the lives of those in his orbit, particularly Millicent, who is grappling with her somewhat troubled history tied to her father. As the plot progresses, the interactions between characters set the stage for themes of friendship, loyalty, and the intricate webs of personal histories.
