Summary "Barbara Lynn: A Tale of the Dales and Fells" by Emily J. Jenkinson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the rugged and beautiful landscape of the Dales and Fells in England, focusing on the life and challenges of the main character, Barbara Lynn, along with her family dynamics and relationships, particularly with her great-grandmother, Mistress Annas Lynn. The book delves into themes of heritage, the passage of time, and the search for identity against the backdrop of rural life. The opening of the novel introduces us to the secluded setting of Greystones, where Barbara Lynn attends to her elderly great-grandmother, Mistress Lynn. The contrast between the young, vibrant Barbara, full of dreams and aspirations, and the wizened, commanding presence of her great-grandmother, who holds tightly to her wealth and the past, sets the stage for their complex relationship. As the narrative progresses, we see hints of Barbara's longing for more than the life of toil she knows, contrasted with the old woman’s pragmatic worldview. The stage is set for the intertwining lives of the sisters, the village characters, and the mysteries surrounding their family legacy, as well as the overarching influence of the surrounding landscape.
