| Summary | "Toilers of Babylon: A Novel" by B. L. Farjeon is a work of fiction likely written in the late 19th century. This novel introduces us to a poignant father-daughter relationship between Mr. Loveday, a somewhat melancholy scholar, and his daughter Nansie, who assist him on their travels in a dilapidated caravan. Their journey unfolds against the backdrop of the beautiful Surrey countryside and explores themes of love, hardship, and a poignant longing for stability and happiness amid life's challenges. At the start of the narrative, we witness the everyday interactions between Mr. Loveday and Nansie. They enjoy a quiet evening together, with Nansie performing domestic tasks while her father reads poetry, hinting at his melancholic disposition. As they share a meal, they discuss Mr. Loveday's health and their uncertain financial situation, laying the groundwork for the narrative's exploration of their struggles. Nansie's yearning for her absent lover, Kingsley, adds emotional depth to the story, while Mr. Loveday's reflections on past grievances foreshadow potential conflicts. The opening sets a thoughtful tone, effectively establishing the characters' complexities and hinting at the intertwining of love and hardship that will likely shape the trajectory of their lives.
