Carling is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in 1845 and follows Captain Paul Cressingham, a young British officer who embarks on a journey in Dalmatia, where he encounters mystery, adventure, and romance. The narrative centers around the captain's chance meeting with a beautiful and enigmatic young woman named Barbara, who has escaped from a convent, adding to the intrigue and potential danger of the tale. At the start of the novel, the protagonist, Paul Cressingham, finds himself lost in a deep pine forest, yearning for adventure away from his routine military duties in Corfu. After unexpectedly crossing paths with Barbara late at night, the two are drawn into a story filled with tension and secrecy. Barbara reveals that she fears pursuit by the authorities due to her escape, while Paul feels a strong desire to protect her, setting the tone for the budding romance between them. Their dynamic deepens as they navigate the rustic atmosphere of Dalmatia, fraught with elements of chivalry and danger, particularly with the enigmatic figure of Cardinal Ravenna looming in the background, hinting at darker themes that may unfold.
