Summary | "Abner Daniel: A Novel" by Will N. Harben is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story primarily revolves around the central character, Alfred Bishop, and his struggles with family dynamics and financial decisions that put them at risk of ruin. The interactions between the Bishops, particularly with Alfred's wife and children, set the stage for a character-driven narrative steeped in rural Southern life and the complexities of familial loyalty and ambition. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Alfred Bishop, a stubborn land speculator whose decisions create tension within his family. As he becomes increasingly obsessed with acquiring mountain land, his wife, Mrs. Bishop, and son, Alan, express their concerns about the financial wisdom of these investments. Tension simmers as family members confront Alfred about his reckless choices, culminating in a household divided over the value of material wealth versus familial responsibility. The arrival of Uncle Abner Daniel adds a layer of perspective, highlighting the generational and gender divides that complicate their situation. This sets up a rich exploration of themes such as ambition, loyalty, and the consequences of blind optimism in the face of potentially disastrous decisions.
