Lighthall is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers on Chamilly Haviland, a young man navigating the complexities of identity and duty in post-Confederation Canada. The book explores themes of nation-making, cultural heritage, and social responsibility, particularly through the lens of French-Canadian society. At the start of the novel, the story opens with an Ontarian, Mr. Chrysler, traveling to Quebec, where he encounters Chamilly and learns about the Manoir of Dormillière, the ancestral home of the Haviland family. As a young parliamentarian with aspirations for his nation, Chamilly yearns to introduce his English-speaking friend to the vibrant life and traditions of French Canada. The narrative delves into the interplay of social classes, the remnants of feudal legacies, and the awakening of national consciousness in a newly unified Canada. The initial chapters establish a rich setting and introduce various characters, hinting at the intricate connections between personal ambition and collective identity.
