Fairly easy to read. E-text prepared by Al Haines "By Berwen Banks" by Allen Raine is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the small Welsh town of Caer Madoc, centering around the lives of its inhabitants, especially focusing on Caradoc Wynne, also known as Cardo, son of "the Vicar du." The novel explores themes of love, social expectations, and the contrasts between different communities, particularly through the budding relationship between Cardo and Valmai Powell, the niece of a preacher. The opening of the novel introduces the tranquil yet lively atmosphere of Caer Madoc during the town's annual fair, which serves as the backdrop for significant character interactions. We first meet Cardo Wynne as he discusses his horse's care with local men before embarking on a contemplative walk home. Along the way, he encounters Valmai, a fair-haired, shy girl who has recently moved back to Wales from Patagonia. Their conversation hints at a connection as they discuss familial relations and social expectations, suggesting that their friendship might grow into something deeper as events unfold. The chapter beautifully sets the stage for a narrative filled with exploration of personal and cultural identity, alongside the uncharted waters of romance and societal norms.
