"Where England Sets Her Feet: A Romance" by Bernard Capes is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story weaves the life of young Brion Middleton, who is raised by a kind Vicar and his family after being orphaned. The narrative unfolds during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I and delves into themes of identity, belonging, and the mysterious past that surrounds Brion's life. At the start of the
novel, we are introduced to the Vicar, Mr. Robert Angell, who adopts the orphaned infant Brion after he is handed over by a stern Justice of the Peace under ominous circumstances. The Angell family raises Brion alongside their biological children, treating him with affection and kindness, while the underlying secrecy regarding his origins looms over his upbringing. The opening chapters explore Brion's childhood and the nurturing environment created by the Angell family until a shocking encounter with Justice Bagott disrupts their lives, revealing Brion’s true lineage and setting him on a path towards newfound adventures and uncertainties. The contrasting worlds of innocent family life and potential danger provide a rich backdrop for Brion’s journey ahead. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
