Summary: "Children of Destiny" by Molly Elliot Seawell is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the rural landscapes of Virginia, the book explores themes of social dynamics, personal ambition, and romantic entanglements through the lives of its characters, particularly focusing on Richard Skelton and young Lewis Pryor. The narrative delves into the complexities of relationships in a society marked by class distinctions and personal rivalries. The opening portion vividly paints a picturesque setting during harvest time at Deerchase, establishing a backdrop of beauty and simplicity. We are introduced to Lewis, a young boy overwhelmed by his thoughts while under the care of his tutor, Mr. Bulstrode, who provides a colorful contrast with his eccentric views on life and philosophy. Tension quickly builds with the arrival of Richard Skelton, a man of both status and unresolved conflicts, hinting at complex relationships, particularly with Elizabeth Blair and her husband Jack. The various character dynamics and social expectations are set against the rich tapestry of the Virginia landscape, promising a story filled with emotional depth and interpersonal drama.
