| Summary | "Trevethlan: A Cornish Story. Volume 3 (of 3)" by William Davy Watson is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative unfolds the struggles and tensions resulting from social upheaval, focusing on characters from noble and ordinary backgrounds in Cornwall. Central to the story is the complex relationship between Mildred Pendarrel and Randolph Trevethlan, which takes a dramatic turn following a tumultuous elopement, showcasing themes of love, rebellion, and the consequences of familial loyalty. At the start of the novel, the scene is set amidst the stunning yet foreboding landscapes of West Cornwall, as political unrest simmers. The narrative introduces Gabriel Denis, a smuggler consumed by anger and plotting revenge, who incites a mob that ultimately leads to chaos. Concurrently, the Pendarrel family faces crisis as their home is encircled by danger, culminating in a devastating fire at Pendarrel Hall. The opening chapters deftly intertwine nature's tempestuousness with human strife as Mildred's passionate decision to elope with Randolph sparks a conflict that threatens their families and positions, propelling the story toward further intrigue and challenges.
