About this eBook

Author Guernsey, Lucy Ellen, 1826-1899
Title Guy Falconer : or, The chronicles of the old Moat House
Original Publication London: Sunday School Union, 1876.
Summary "Guy Falconer; Or, The Chronicles of the Old Moat House" by Lucy Ellen Guernsey is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the fallout of a family's financial difficulties and their forced departure from the ancestral home, the Moat House. The narrative presents a poignant exploration of themes like familial duty, loss, and resilience, particularly through the eyes of the central characters, Mrs. Falconer and her children, Guy and Maude. The opening of the story introduces us to a significant event: the old gentleman, Mr. Falconer, is making critical decisions about his estate as he faces his mortality. Amidst a backdrop of impending changes, he expresses concern for his late son Guy's widow and children. This familial turmoil sets off a chain of events that impacts the entire community, as the Moat House is slated for sale, resulting in uproar among the local villagers. The chapter establishes a rich tapestry of emotion, interweaving dialogues that reflect both personal struggles and societal reactions, hinting at the deeper themes of loyalty, justice, and the quest for identity that the characters will confront as the narrative unfolds.
