Summary "Round Anvil Rock: A Romance" by Nancy Huston Banks is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century, reflecting on life in early 19th-century Kentucky. The book intertwines an exploration of romance against a rich backdrop of wilderness and social development, centering on the lives of young characters David and Ruth as they navigate their personal feelings and burgeoning identities amidst the complexities of their frontier lives. The opening of the novel introduces us to David, a sensitive and introspective boy, who experiences a deep emotional connection to the natural world around him, particularly as he listens to the smooth sounds of the river and the haunting notes of a boatman's horn. His relationship with Ruth, a vivacious girl who encourages him to be more proactive in life, reveals a tender dynamic filled with youthful romance and societal expectations. As the two share their thoughts about their benefactor, Philip Alston, and contemplate the intrigue of their origins and family ties, their interactions set the stage for a story that promises to explore themes of love, discovery, and the challenges faced by settlers in a developing America. The narrative then shifts to the ominous backdrop of their frontier setting, hinting at the struggles the characters will face as they confront both personal and external conflicts.
