The House of Armour by Marshall Saunders
"The House of Armour" by Marshall Saunders is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows Vivienne Delavigne, a young girl returning to her native Nova Scotia from abroad, and her experiences as she reintegrates into a life complicated by her past and her guardians, the Armour family. The book explores themes of identity, cultural heritage, and the social dynamics of the time. The opening of the story setsthe scene with a passenger ship entering the picturesque harbor of Halifax. Vivienne is introduced as an enthusiastic character reflecting on her childhood memories of the place. Alongside her is Captain Macartney, who is intrigued by her passion for her homeland. Their dialogue hints at deeper themes of nationalism and personal connection, especially as Vivienne reveals her longing for belonging amid her recent losses. The chapter intriguingly establishes the setting, character dynamics, and themes that will likely evolve throughout the novel, inviting readers into Vivienne's journey as she navigates her complex emotions and relationships.
