Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Come Back" by Carolyn Wells is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Peter Crane, a young man with a zest for adventure, who embarks on a trip to Labrador with two friends and faces unforeseen perils. As the narrative unfolds, themes of love, destiny, and supernatural elements emerge, especially surrounding a prophecy that hints at Peter's possible demise during his journey. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Peter Crane, affectionately known as Peter Boots, and his adventurous spirit from a young age. Despite his family's apprehensions about his trip, he is determined to go to Labrador, sparked by tales shared with him, especially from a doctor he encountered. The dialogue among family and friends brings light to Peter's relationships, particularly with Carlotta Harper, whom he intends to engage upon his return. However, a troubling prophecy from his childhood looms over them, suggesting that he may not return from his journey. As he and his companions set off into the wild, the opening chapters foreshadow the blend of adventure and tragedy that awaits in the story, as well as the deeper emotional currents tied to love and loss.
