Title Aftermath
Part second of "A Kentucky Cardinal"
Credits E-text prepared by Al Haines
Summary "Aftermath" by James Lane Allen is a novel written during the late 19th century. The book serves as the continuation of the narrative from "A Kentucky Cardinal," following the complex relationships and emotions among the characters, primarily focusing on the engaged couple, Georgiana and Adam. The theme revolves around love, nature, and the struggles of personal identity within romantic entanglements, highlighting how personal desires often conflict with societal expectations. The opening of "Aftermath" introduces us to Adam, who is immersed in nurturing his garden, particularly his butterbeans, and partaking in lighthearted banter with his fiancée, Georgiana. The dialogue reveals their playful dynamic, along with contrasting elements of their personalities—Adam's earnestness toward nature and Georgiana's humorous scorn. As they engage in discussions about poetry and letters, we gain insight into their unique relationship, as well as the presence of Sylvia, another character intertwined in their lives. The atmosphere is filled with humor, tenderness, and underlying tensions, setting a vivid backdrop for their impending marriage, as Adam grapples with his deep connection to the natural world and the complexities of love, foreshadowing the challenges that await them in their shared life.
