| Summary | "The Tides of Barnegat" by Francis Hopkinson Smith is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story begins in a charming coastal setting, centering around the interactions of several characters, chiefly focusing on Martha Sands, the Cobdens' nurse, and her attachment to her young charge, Lucy Cobden, who is returning home after an extended period at school. The narrative weaves themes of love, social aspirations, and the complexity of relationships within a close-knit community. The beginning of the novel captures a beautiful spring morning as Martha, accompanied by her dog Meg, reflects on the landscape and her anticipation of Lucy's return. Upon encountering Dr. John Cavendish, the local physician, their conversation reveals both the affectionate nature of Martha and the budding connections among the characters, hinting at deeper relationships that intertwine throughout the story. As Martha eagerly awaits her beloved Lucy, the narrative unfolds to reveal Lucy's youthful exuberance and the contrasting dynamics between her and other characters, promising a rich exploration of community, love, and personal growth within the vibrant setting of Barnegat.
