Summary "Sweet Mace: A Sussex Legend of the Iron Times" by George Manville Fenn is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. Set in Sussex during the Iron Age, the story introduces the main characters Gil Carr and Sweet Mace, entwined in a narrative that explores themes of love, nature, and conflict against the backdrop of a picturesque English countryside. The book promises a vivid depiction of rural life amid the iron industry that flourished during that time. The opening of the book presents a beautifully descriptive scene where Gil Carr reflects on nature while picking flowers for Sweet Mace, showcasing both his affection for her and the prismatic beauty of the landscape around him. The atmosphere is filled with the symphony of springtime—a concert of birdsong that heightens his sense of nostalgia and longing. Soon after, the narrative shifts to introduce other characters, including Sir Mark Leslie and Jeremiah Cobbe, who navigate the societal and romantic complexities that arise in their interactions, all while hints of conflict and intrigue develop. This opening portion sets the stage for a rich interplay of personal emotions against a historical backdrop, promising to engage readers with its lyrical prose and relatable themes of love and rivalry.
