Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Shining Ferry" by Arthur Quiller-Couch is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces readers to John Rosewarne, a man of some standing and responsibility, who oversees various enterprises, including his family's estate and local shipping interests. The narrative weaves together themes of duty, personal conflict, and the complexities of relationships within the confines of a rural community. The opening of the book presents John Rosewarne in his counting-house, where he conducts business while reflecting on his life and responsibilities. Through his interactions with his clerk, Mr. Benny, and other locals, the reader gains insight into Rosewarne's character—a man who bears the weight of his legacy yet grapples with feelings of isolation and dissatisfaction. As he moves through his daily routine, the themes of family, responsibility, and the passage of time begin to take shape, suggesting a deeper exploration of how Rosewarne's past and present will intertwine as the narrative unfolds. The opening establishes a strong sense of place and introduces characters whose lives will intersect with Rosewarne's, setting the stage for the relationships and conflicts that will develop throughout the story.
