Summary "For Jacinta" by Harold Bindloss is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Austin, a young English sobrecargo on a Spanish mail boat called the "Estremedura", and his interactions with the captivating Jacinta Brown, who is well-known across the Canary Islands. The novel explores themes of love, ambition, and the challenges of navigating social dynamics in a vibrant, culturally rich setting. The opening of the story introduces readers to Austin, who boards the "Estremedura" under the bustling atmosphere of the Canary Islands, fraught with its diverse cast of characters, including livestock and colorful passengers. Readers meet Jacinta Brown, the titular character, who commands attention with her charm and wit. As she engages in conversation with Austin, the two develop a dynamic that hints at deeper connections and competing desires, especially as issues surrounding Jacinta's socio-economic status and Austin's ambiguous position arise. The lively interactions aboard the ship set the stage for explorations of class, romance, and personal aspirations against the backdrop of the scenic islands.
