Gibbon is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the Indian Mutiny of 1857, focusing on the experiences of Ensign Ted Russell, a young officer in the British Indian Army, and his relationships with his brother Jim and the spirited Ethel Woodburn. The narrative delves into themes of camaraderie, loyalty, romance, and the chaotic events leading up to the uprising that shook British colonial rule in India. The opening of the book introduces us to the character of Ted Russell, who is initially discontented due to his brother's infatuation with Ethel Woodburn, the daughter of their commanding officer. Ted's jealousy transforms into a budding admiration for Ethel as they bond over shared activities, especially riding. However, the narrative quickly escalates from personal dynamics to the looming threat of the mutiny, highlighting the tensions and divisions within the British and native populations. The impact of this historical conflict is foreshadowed as Ted begins to understand the severity of the situation that surrounds him, hinting at the challenges his character will face throughout the remainder of the story.
