| Summary | "The Making of William Edwards; or, The Story of the Bridge of Beauty" by Mrs. G. Linnæus Banks is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book revolves around the titular character, William Edwards, and his family as they navigate the challenges of rural life in Wales following the tragic death of the family patriarch. The story explores themes of resilience, familial duty, and the evolution of farming practices in a primitive society. At the start of the narrative, we witness a devastating thunderstorm that claims the life of farmer William Edwards as he attempts to cross a treacherous river after a market day. The scene shifts to his devastated wife, Mrs. Edwards, who must now assume total responsibility for the family and the farm. With the help of her eldest son, Rhys, she faces the immediate challenges of grief and managing a smallholding, while young Willem, their youngest child, is caught up in his own misadventures. The early chapters establish a compelling portrait of life in a rural community, highlighting the blend of both ordinary and extraordinary circumstances that define the Edwards family's struggle and determination.
