Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Tale of Triona" by William John Locke is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Olivia Gale, a young woman navigating a significant transition in her life after the death of her mother. With the unexpected inheritance of her father's estate, Olivia contemplates her newfound wealth and independence, expressing a desire for adventure and a life beyond her small, provincial town. The opening of the book introduces Olivia as she engages in discussions with Mr. Trivett and Mr. Fenmarch, who represent her father's estate. As they argue over her desire to withdraw her inheritance and her plans for the future, Olivia’s lively wit contrasts with the men's practical concerns. She exhibits a mix of excitement and uncertainty as she contemplates leaving her familiar life behind in search of adventure. This sets the stage for a story about self-discovery, societal expectations, and the quest for a fulfilling life as Olivia embarks on a journey that promises both challenges and possibilities.
