Summary "Walda: A Novel" by Mary Holland Kinkaid is a fictional work written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows a small religious community known as Zanah, exploring its customs, the anticipation of a future prophetess named Walda Kellar, and the challenges faced when outsiders interact with their insular society. The primary characters introduced include the thoughtful yet troubled school-master Gerson Brandt and the noble and beautiful Walda, who is poised to assume a significant role within her community. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the village of Zanah through the eyes of a stranger named Stephen Everett, who arrives seeking solitude and knowledge. He forms an immediate connection with Hans Peter, the village fool, and begins to learn about the restrictive lifestyle of the villagers that includes strict prohibitions against worldly temptations, particularly love. As he interacts with Gerson Brandt and Walda Kellar, we see the tension between the colony's rigid rules and the natural human emotions that arise, particularly through Walda's impending role as prophetess and the relationships that teeter on the edge of acceptance and rebellion. The opening sets the stage for a rich exploration of faith, love, and the consequences of isolation in a tight-knit community. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
