Lost Sir Massingberd: A Romance of Real Life. v. 1/2
About This Book
A narrator describes life at an ancient country hall dominated by a cruel, imperious elder whose private cruelties and secrets shadow his relatives. Young heirs and friends endure humiliation, eerie occurrences involving a mute, troubled hound, and local gossip that hint at past violence and concealment. The narrative follows attempts to assert independence, romantic attachments, and clandestine schemes that lead to a disappearance and gradual unravelling of layered deceptions. Scenes of rural society, adventure, and moral testing examine cowardice, courage, and the costs of long-held authority.
