Summary "Thurston of Orchard Valley" by Harold Bindloss is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Geoffrey Thurston, a young man struggling to maintain his family's mining legacy in the North Country amidst external pressures and personal dilemmas. Facing disapproval from the local community and financial ruin, Geoffrey's journey reflects themes of pride, ambition, and the pursuit of honor against societal expectations. At the start of the book, Geoffrey is introduced as a determined and restless individual, encapsulating the stubborn spirit of his lineage. The opening scene establishes his tumultuous relationship with his fiancée, Millicent Austin, as they grapple with differing ambitions and values, particularly in light of Geoffrey's financial woes. The narrative sets the tone for his internal conflict, juxtaposing his resolve to restore his family's mining operation against the temptation to yield to corrupt offers from investors. As he moves deeper into his mining endeavors, the story hints at his characterization as a complex figure caught between loyalty to his heritage and the realities of harsh circumstances in a changing world.
