Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Daughter of Witches: A Romance" by Joanna E. Wood is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with the main character, Miss Temperance Tribbey, who is busy preserving fruit at the Lansing farmhouse. As she interacts with visitors, particularly Sidney Martin, the narrative builds around her domestic life and the complexities of relationships within a rural community. The opening of the novel introduces us to Temperance, who is portrayed as a strong and somewhat temperamental woman, while her encounter with Sidney Martin sets the stage for an unfolding romance. As Sidney arrives at the Lansing home with intents of becoming a summer visitor, we see glimpses of other local characters, including the dramatic Lanty Lansing and the beautiful cousins Vashti and Mabella. This initial chapter establishes the atmosphere of rural charm paired with underlying tensions, hinting at future conflicts and romantic entanglements that are likely to develop as more characters' stories intertwine.
