| Summary | "Tempest-Driven: A Romance" by Richard Dowling is a novel written in the late 19th century. It unfolds a tale of love, conflict, and mystery as it explores the lives of various characters whose destinies are intertwined with affection, friendship, and deception. The narrative focuses on Jerry O'Brien, a man grappling with his feelings for Alfred Paulton’s sister, Madge, while navigating the complexities surrounding the precarious health of his friend, Alfred, and looming threats from meddling commissioners. The opening of the novel introduces us to Jerry O'Brien, who is in a state of despair regarding his friend Alfred's health, struggling with feelings of guilt and helplessness. As he reflects on his love for Madge, the atmosphere turns tense with the looming presence of commissioners threatening his financial stability linked to salmon weirs. In this emotional turmoil, he receives a lengthy letter from a solicitor, John O'Hanlon, hinting at past connections with the Davenports and a ghostly encounter with a man named Michael Fahey, whose mysterious disappearance and haunting presence suggest deeper secrets yet to be unveiled. This sets the stage for a story steeped in complexity and intrigue, inviting readers into a richly layered narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
