Myddleton is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the exotic backdrop of the Solomon Islands, the story follows the enchanting Gabrielle Everard, a white girl living in a tribal community, and the complex dynamics of her relationships with the local people and other outsiders, including the charming ship's apprentice Hillary L and the intriguing half-caste Rajah Koo Macka. The narrative delves into themes of love, identity, and cultural collision. The opening of the novel introduces a vivid night-time festival, where the native inhabitants participate in a ceremonial dance, showcasing the mysticism of their world. Amidst this celebration, Gabrielle unexpectedly leaps onto the stage, captivating the audience with her beauty and grace before fleeing into the forest, leaving them in astonishment. The scene then shifts to Hillary, who is a run-away ship's apprentice feeling out of place and longing for romance. He soon encounters Gabrielle again, sparking an immediate connection that hints at a burgeoning romance. However, the relationships between the characters are complicated by Gabrielle's mixed heritage and her father's contemptuous demeanor, setting the stage for further conflict and exploration of these intense interpersonal dynamics.
