Summary "Cumner's Son and Other South Sea Folk — Volume 03" by Gilbert Parker is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book primarily delves into themes of love, despair, and the complexities of human relationships, set against the backdrop of the South Sea islands. Parker's work captures the essence of life in these remote regions and illustrates the struggles and emotions of his characters. The collection includes tales with deep emotional currents, such as "The Planter's Wife," which narrates the troubled marriage between a planter named Houghton and his wife, Alice, who is in love with another man. Their fraught relationship leads to discussions of a shared, tragic fate tied to their unhappiness. Another story features Barbara Golding, a governess with a mysterious past, and her complicated relationships, revealing how personal histories intertwine with broader social issues. These interconnected stories not only provide insight into the characters but also reflect the rich tapestry of life in the South Seas, capturing both the beauty and the sorrows that accompany love and longing.
