Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Told in the Hills" by Marah Ellis Ryan is a novel written during the late 19th century. This narrative explores themes of family, loyalty, and the complexities of romantic relationships set against the backdrop of the rugged wilderness. The story appears to involve a cast of characters drawn into conflicted emotions, particularly focusing on a troubled relationship between two brothers and their ties to a woman named Annie. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to a tense interaction between two men, one darkly handsome and seemingly wicked, and the other tall and fair, who are revealed to be brothers. The darkly expressive man has come to confront his brother, ostensibly over a marriage that disrupts an unspoken pledge to another woman, Anna. As the darkness of their familial disputes and betrayals unfolds, the reader learns of lost love, guilt, and the responsibility taken for someone else's honor. The setting shifts from the extravagant homes of New Orleans to the distant landscapes filled with secrets, creating a dramatic environment for the unfolding human dramas.
