The Virginians Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Virginians Produced by Tapio Riikonen, and David Widger "The Virginians" by William Makepeace Thackeray is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative centers around the lives of Harry and George Warrington, twin brothers from Virginia, as they navigate the complexities of their heritage and relationships in the context of the colonial American society and its connection to England. The novel delves into themes of family loyalty, identity, and the evolving colonial landscape toward independence. At the start of the tale, we meet Harry Warrington, who arrives in England from Virginia, mourning his recently deceased brother, George. The opening introduces the historical backdrop of the Revolutionary War, where familial ties are strained by allegiance to different sides of the conflict. As Harry embarks on his journey to reconnect with his English roots and relatives, he grapples with the complexities of class and social expectations amidst an indifferent reception, particularly from his aristocratic kin at Castlewood. Initial encounters reveal a mix of hospitality and neglect, highlighting the character's deep longing for acceptance and familial connection against the backdrop of cultural contrasts between the Old and New Worlds.
