Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"All Along the River: A Novel" by M. E. Braddon is a fictional work written in the mid-19th century. The story follows Isola Disney, a young wife grappling with the loneliness of her husband's absence, who is stationed with his regiment in India. As she navigates her emotions, the narrative introduces elements of love, longing, and companionship, particularly as Isola encounters Lord Lostwithiel, a local nobleman whose presence begins to impact her solitary life. At the start of the novel, heavy rain sets the scene for Isola's restless anticipation; she eagerly awaits a letter from her husband that ultimately deepens her feeling of isolation. After reading the disappointing news about his extended absence, Isola ventures out for a walk to clear her mind but encounters a sudden downpour. This leads her to seek shelter in Lord Lostwithiel's home, sparking an unexpected connection between them. Their meeting introduces a complex dynamic, as Isola struggles with her loyalty to her husband while being drawn to the intriguing nobleman, setting the stage for the emotional conflicts that will unfold throughout the narrative.
