This eBook was produced by David Widger
"Carnac's Folly, Volume 3" by Gilbert Parker is a political drama that appears to be set in late 19th century Quebec. The narrative focuses on the life of Carnac Grier, the son of a prominent but estranged lumber king, and his unexpected plunge into the volatile world of politics amidst deep personal and family complexities. As tensions mount in the province with an impending election, Carnac becomes embroiled in a fierce confrontation with the seasoned politician Barode Barouche, who, unbeknownst to Carnac, is also his biological father. The opening of the book establishes a backdrop of political turmoil as Carnac grapples with his burgeoning interest in politics while dealing with his complicated relationships, particularly with his mother, Mrs. Grier, and his love interest, Junia. As he prepares to run against Barouche, Carnac's motivations are shaped not only by political aspirations but also by family secrets. In this initial segment, we see Carnac's evolving consciousness as he prepares to challenge Barouche in the elections. The action intensifies when he learns of his candidacy and confronts both the personal stakes involved and the shifting dynamics of support and opposition from those around him, including an unexpected conflict with a woman named Luzanne, who holds the potential to disrupt his aspirations. The interplay of personal and political threads sets the stage for a gripping exploration of identity, legacy, and the struggle for power. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
