A Singer from the Sea by Amelia E. Barr
"A Singer from the Sea" by Amelia E. Barr is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a picturesque coastal village in Cornwall and centers around Denas Penelles, a spirited fisher girl with a love for the sea and a passion for singing. The narrative explores her interactions with Roland Tresham, a young man from a higher social standing, and the complexities of their relationship amidst theexpectations of their respective worlds. The opening of the novel introduces the stunning landscape of the Cornish coast and provides a vivid backdrop for the lives of Denas and her family. Denas's father, John Penelles, is depicted as a concerned and protective fisherman, wary of the influence that the well-educated and charming Roland might have on his daughter. As Denas begins to navigate her feelings for Roland, the chapter sets up a tension between her humble fishing life and the allure of Roland's world, revealing the social divide that threatens to complicate their budding romance. Through poignant dialogue, we get a glimpse of Denas's independence and her father's devotion to her well-being, suggesting that their familial bond will be a crucial element as the story unfolds.
