Summary "Over the Border: A Romance" by Robert Barr is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds during a tumultuous period in English history, focusing on the character of Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford, who faces political intrigue and personal dilemmas before the backdrop of a society on the brink of change. The story is set against issues of loyalty, identity, and familial ties as Frances Wentworth, the Earl's unexpected daughter, seeks to navigate her way through a world steeped in danger and uncertainty. The opening of the book introduces readers to a fine day in November as the Earl of Strafford walks through Hampton Court Palace's Home Park with a group of nobles, despite his failing health. Amidst this seemingly tranquil environment, there are whispers of conspiracy regarding his political fate. The scene shifts dramatically when Frances Wentworth, the Earl's daughter, confronts her father for the first time, revealing her unexpected lineage and demonstrating her courage. As tensions rise in the kingdom, the Earl must grapple with the growing threats against him, setting the stage for a tale filled with emotional depth, political maneuvering, and a daughter’s determination to claim her place within a fractured family.
