"Under the Mendips: A Tale" by Emma Marshall is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the early 1830s, the story revolves around the daily lives and struggles of the Falconer family, particularly focusing on Joyce Falconer, a spirited young girl who epitomizes the innocence and joys of rural life while grappling with the complexities of family expectations and societal change. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Fair Acres Manor, a pastoral haven under the Mendip Hills, where Joyce's idyllic life unfolds. As the narrative introduces her interactions with her father, Squire Falconer, and her brothers, it paints a vivid picture of their contrasts and conflicts—including her brother Melville's aspirations to break free from the family farm life. The opening chapters establish not only Joyce's character as she revels in nature and family but also hint at the underlying tensions related to social expectations and the family's status, setting the stage for deeper explorations of familial bonds and societal shifts in the story ahead.
