"Catriona" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative continues the adventures of David Balfour, a character introduced in Stevenson’s earlier work "Kidnapped". This sequel delves into David's life in post-Jacobite Scotland, exploring themes of identity, loyalty, and love, particularly as he becomes involved with a mysterious girl named Catriona Drummond and the political turmoil surrounding the Jacobite cause. The opening of "Catriona" finds David Balfour navigating the streets of Edinburgh after recently coming into a landed estate, but still haunted by his past as a fugitive. He encounters a young woman named Catriona, who is revealed to be the daughter of James More, a man imprisoned due to his Jacobite affiliations. This chance meeting sparks a connection between them, as David's promise to aid her father intertwines their fates. As David grapples with his newfound status and the dangers lurking due to his previous associations, Stevenson sets the stage for a compelling tale of adventure, romance, and the weight of personal and political legacy.
