| Summary | "The Daughter of Virginia Dare" by Mary Virginia Wall is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book tells the story of Eleanor Dare and her daughter Virginia, who journey to the New World with the hope of establishing a new life in Virginia. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the lost colony of Roanoke, weaving together themes of adventure and survival in an unfamiliar land filled with both beauty and peril. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Eleanor Dare as she grapples with her fears and hopes while aboard the ship, "Admiral", en route to Virginia. The initial focus is on the excitement of departure from England and the anticipation of a new life in America. As the ship encounters various challenges during its lengthy voyage, Eleanor’s strength and resilience are highlighted. Upon landing, the colonists find remnants of the previous settlement and begin to establish their own community, but struggles with starvation and conflicts with Indigenous peoples soon arise. As the opening portion unfolds, Eleanor’s role as a mother becomes paramount, especially when faced with the impending crises that threaten both her family and the fledgling colony. The emotional depth of her struggles sets the stage for the unfolding drama and conflict that underscores the exploration of life in the New World. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
