Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Under the Storm" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. It explores the upheaval faced by rural families during the English Civil War, particularly focusing on a young boy named Steadfast Kenton and his siblings, Patience and Rusha. The story delves into their struggles in the chaotic environment of war-torn England, highlighting themes of resilience, familial duty, and faith amid adversity. At the start of this engaging narrative, we are introduced to the Kenton family and their idyllic farm life, which is soon disrupted by the dire realities of war. The opening chapters convey a poignant sense of loss, as the family grapples with the death of their mother and later, their father, who is killed by soldiers. Young Steadfast is tasked with the grave responsibility of caring for his siblings while secretly safeguarding a precious casket entrusted to him by his father. The tone balances the innocence of childhood with the harshness of their new reality, hinting at Steadfast's journey of growth and leadership in a world that is rapidly changing around him. As he navigates these challenges, the narrative sets the stage for a deeper exploration of personal courage and the strength of familial bonds.
