| Summary | "Mary Liddiard; Or, The Missionary's Daughter" by William Henry Giles Kingston is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Mary Liddiard, the daughter of a missionary stationed on a Pacific island, as the family grapples with the challenges and dangers presented by both the local native populations and the harsh realities of their missionary work. The narrative likely explores themes of faith, cultural conflict, and survival amidst adversity. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the idyllic yet perilous life on a missionary station. Mary, her mother, and a young girl named Maud provide educational support to local girls, including Lisele, the chief’s daughter, who is wrestling with her beliefs. Tensions rise as rival natives threaten violence against the mission, leading to a suspenseful escape sequence that highlights fear, faith, and the strength of community. Kingston sets the stage for a tale of resilience and moral conviction, emphasizing the missionaries' unwavering commitment to their cause in the face of adversity.
