| Summary | "Orphan Dinah" by Eden Phillpotts is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life of Dinah Waycott, an orphan who finds herself caught between her love for her foster family and the expectations of her betrothed, John Bamsey. Set against the rustic backdrop of Dartmoor, it explores themes of love, family ties, and self-discovery. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the picturesque Dartmoor landscape and the character of a young man who admires the beauty surrounding him while preparing to descend from the Beacon. As the narrative progresses, we are introduced to Falcon Farm, run by the farmer Joseph Stockman and his daughter, Susan, who welcome two new workers: Lawrence Maynard and Thomas Palk. It establishes relationships and hints at the complexities that will arise from the interactions between Dinah, John, and the farm's inhabitants. The chapter sets the stage for themes of duty and affection, culminating in Dinah's encounter with Lawrence Maynard, which demonstrates her frank and open nature, ultimately hinting at the personal struggles and reflections that will shape her journey throughout the story.
