Lane, Margaret Stuart
The Admiral's Daughter
Produced by Al Haines
"The Admiral's Daughter" by Margaret Stuart Lane is a historical novel set during the tumultuous period of post-Restoration England, likely written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a picturesque West Country village, centering on Marion, the daughter of Admiral Penrock. As the narrative begins, we are introduced to Marion's world filled with youthful dreams, the inevitability of adult responsibilities, and the stirrings of political unrest that create an undercurrent of tension in the lives of the characters. At the start of the tale, the arrival of spring brings a sense of restlessness to Roger Trevannion, Marion's childhood friend, who feels trapped by his obligations as a farmer while yearning for adventure at sea. Their conversation reveals both their hopes and fears, particularly concerning the shadow of political turmoil from the Monmouth Rebellion. Marion's impending journey to London, prompted by an invitation from her Aunt Constance, ignites excitement and trepidation as she contemplates leaving her familiar life behind, while Roger wrestles with his own feelings of inadequacy and fear of losing her to the wider world. This opening section sets the stage for a tale of adventure, friendship, and the inevitable pull of duty amidst the backdrop of a changing society. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
