Hall, Sir Caine, Sir Hall The Deemster Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Deemster E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Mary Meehan, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Deemster" by Sir Hall Caine is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the Isle of Man and follows the lives of the Mylrea family, particularly focusing on Thorkell Mylrea, who rises to power and faces moral dilemmas in his quest for social status and control. The book intricately explores themes of family, betrayal, and the consequences of ambition. At the start of the narrative, Old Ewan Mylrea dies peacefully, setting off a chain of events that thrusts his elder son, Thorkell, into conflict with his younger brother, Gilcrist. Thorkell seizes control of the family estate, Ballamona, while Gilcrist retreats into scholarship. After marrying a young woman named Joance, Thorkell's ambition grows, foreshadowing struggles between personal desires and societal expectations. The opening establishes a stark contrast between the characters of the brothers, which hints at the ensuing tensions and moral challenges that will unfold as the story progresses.
