Armorel of Lyonesse: A Romance of To-day

A young woman raised on a remote archipelago becomes the focus of visiting city acquaintances, whose curiosity triggers boat voyages, island discovery, and questions about her lineage and inheritance. The narrative follows her encounters with suitors and friends, episodes among artists and dramatists in metropolitan society, and legal and familial complications that test loyalties and promises. Sea voyages, a period of exile on a desert islet, and theatrical enterprises alternate with moments of domestic life, as misunderstandings and rivalries are gradually untangled and the characters move toward a resolved settlement of identity, property, and personal relationships.
