| Summary | "Erään rikoksen varjo" by Sir Hall Caine is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the small, isolated village of Wythburn, the story delves into the lives of its inhabitants, particularly focusing on the Ray family—Angus, Mary, and their two sons, Ralph and Willy. The narrative unfolds amidst the backdrop of tension, mystery, and the intrusions of the outside world, leading to events that intertwine the personal and the communal. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Wythburn and its rugged landscape, alongside an account of the Ray family dynamics. Angus Ray, a dominant figure and successful sheep owner, is contrasted with his gentle wife, Mary, and their sons, who exhibit distinct characteristics. Ralph is headstrong and brave, while Willy is sensitive and dreamy. As the community faces external threats and dramas, the arrival of a mysterious newcomer, James Wilson, sets off a chain of events that hints at deeper intrigues and conflicts—specifically a murder that shakes the village and challenges the bonds of friendship and trust among its people. This initial setup engages readers with a blend of character development and an emerging plot filled with suspense. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
