Summary: "Flower of the Gorse" by Louis Tracy is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in Brittany, focusing on a group of characters including three young Breton maidens—Barbe, Madeleine, and Yvonne—and two male artists, John Ingersoll and Laurence Tollemache, as they embark on a pilgrimage to a local sanctuary dedicated to Sainte Barbe. The narrative introduces elements of superstitious beliefs surrounding the pilgrims, hinting at the intertwining themes of romance, faith, and youthful adventure. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of the landscape and the characters as they make their way up a rocky path toward the chapel. Mère Pitou, a robust and humorous matron, enthusiastically shares stories of good fortune associated with the tolling of a bell. As the girls pause to pray at the shrine, their aspirations and concerns surface, reflecting their individual personalities. Meanwhile, the artists engage in banter and playful exchanges, demonstrating their contrasting views on life and art. The youthful energy of Barbe, the practicality of Madeleine, and the wisdom of Yvonne set a lively tone for the story, hinting at the adventures and challenges that lie ahead in their lives and the larger connections that will develop among the characters.
