Martyn is a historical account written in the mid-19th century, during the period of the American Civil War. The narrative is set in a small village, exploring the daily life of its residents as they navigate the struggles and impacts of war on their community. Through the eyes of its characters, the text captures the intertwining of personal stories with the broader national conflict, highlighting themes of love, loss, and resilience. The opening portion introduces the Beach Hill neighborhood, where the residents gossip about a new family moving into the Tyrrell House, a once-aristocratic mansion that has been empty for some time. Among the new arrivals is Mr. Fenton and his family, who are escaping the South amidst the civil unrest. We are introduced to Miss Letty, a key character who shares news and gossip about her neighbors, revealing connections to the war. The narrative hints at underlying tensions within the community regarding loyalty to the Union and relationships complicated by the war, particularly focusing on the characters of Robert Lester, a young lawyer with unclear motives for his actions, and the Fenton family, particularly the delicate daughter, Elinor. The stage is set for a deeper exploration of the village's dynamics as the war affects personal lives and community ties.
