D. Blackmore is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the rugged Glamorgan coast and follows the life of an aging fisherman named Davy Llewellyn, who has recently lost his wife and son. As he navigates his grief, he becomes entangled in a curious adventure involving a mysterious child he discovers adrift in the sea, hinting at deeper themes of loss, innocence, and the search for belonging. The opening of the novel introduces us to Davy Llewellyn, who reflects on his life as a fisherman and his current state of despair following the deaths of his family. Struggling for solace and sustenance for himself and his orphaned granddaughter, Bunny, he sets out fishing one summer day. During his fishing expedition, he encounters a mysterious boat carrying a sleeping child, which compels him to rescue her and brings him into the midst of unforeseen challenges and strange circumstances. The initial chapters establish Davy's character, his struggles, and the tender bond beginning to form between him and the child, known as Bardie, setting the stage for the unfolding mystery that lies ahead.
