The Lost Lady of Lone by Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth
"The Lost Lady of Lone" by Emma Dorothy Eliza Nevitte Southworth is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the picturesque Highlands of Scotland, focusing on the intertwining fates of a noble family and a humble shepherdess. Main characters include the young Marquis of Arondelle, who faces societal challenges following the downfall of his family estate, and Salome Levison, an heiress torn between her upbringing andemerging desires. At the start of the narrative, preparations for a grand wedding at Lone Castle are underway, marking the return of the once-great family, the Scotts. The opening chapters introduce the readers to the turbulent backdrop of noble intrigue, familial sacrifice, and personal quests for happiness. As the conversation flows between characters such as the housekeeper Girzie Ross and the steward McRath, the tone oscillates between hope for a brighter future and foreboding about past tragedies, setting the stage for the unfolding drama surrounding the fallen noble lineage and the lives forever changed by these events. The young Marquis's past sacrifices and the romantic aspirations of Salome begin to weave a complex tale of love and identity against the backdrop of societal expectations.
