| Summary | "A Romance of Billy-Goat Hill" by Alice Caldwell Hegan Rice is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a Southern Kentucky setting, particularly focusing on the lives of the Carsey family and their interactions with the surrounding community, as well as the budding romance between Miss Lady Carsey and the newcomer, Don Morley. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the picturesque yet somewhat decaying Thornwood mansion, symbolizing a blend of nostalgia and the passage of time. Colonel Bob Carsey, the affectionate yet gruff father, and his spirited daughter, Miss Lady, engage in playful banter that reveals their close relationship. Their discussion shifts between the Colonel's desire for Miss Lady to avoid the charms of the city-bred Don Morley and Miss Lady's enthusiasm for their budding friendship. The opening establishes a rich backdrop of themes related to love, personal ambitions, societal expectations, and the enchanting yet turbulent world of the American South. The interactions set the stage for future conflicts and developments, promising an engaging exploration of romance and character growth. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
