Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Daughter of the Forest" by Evelyn Raymond is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a wilderness setting, likely in the northern regions of Maine, and revolves around a young girl named Margot and her guardian, Hugh Dutton, along with their housekeeper, Angelique. The plot introduces a mix of adventure, human connection, and the mysteries of nature as the characters navigate challenges, such as tumultuous storms, their pasts, and encounters with new people who disrupt their tranquil life. The opening of the novel presents a vivid scene as Mother Angelique anxiously searches for Margot, who has paddled away in a canoe just as a fierce storm begins to brew. As the storm's fury escalates, Angelique prepares for the worst, reflecting on her superstitions about the broken glass. Moments later, the master, Hugh Dutton, braves the tempest to search for Margot, illustrating a deep bond between the characters. Margot eventually returns home unscathed, though a stranger – Adrian Wadislaw – is soon introduced, complicating their lives. This early segment effectively sets the tone for themes of love, loyalty, and the tumultuous intersection of human experiences with the wildness of their environment.
