Summary: "The Light of Scarthey: A Romance" by Egerton Castle is a romantic novel written in the late 19th century. Set against a backdrop of tumultuous historical events, the narrative centers on Sir Adrian Landale, a reflective and philosophical light-keeper living in the isolation of Scarthey Island. The story explores themes of love, loss, and the complexities of human relationships as Adrian confronts the past and the enduring impact of his first love. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the ruggedly beautiful islet of Scarthey, where Adrian leads a solitary life marred by contemplation of his earlier ideals contrasting sharply with his current existence. The opening chapters reveal the details of his surroundings, including the remnants of a grand castle that once served a militaristic purpose. We learn of his gentle nature through interactions with Margery, his housekeeper, and René, his Breton servant. The narrative also hints at a past filled with dramatic encounters and relationships that have shaped Adrian, as well as the larger political upheavals of early 19th-century England that impact the life of the reclusive light-keeper.
