Summary "Miss Cheyne of Essilmont, Volume 1 (of 3)" by James Grant is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in England, it revolves around the life of the young and vibrant Alison Cheyne, the sole surviving child of an impoverished baronet. The story captures her emotional journey as she navigates the complexities of her social standing, potential suitors, and the lingering shadows of family tragedy. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a pivotal day of hunting with the Royal Buckhounds, where Alison is accompanied by Captain Bevil Goring. Their exchange reveals a budding mutual attraction intertwined with shared mourning over the loss of Alison's brothers. Despite her family's dwindling fortunes and the looming presence of Lord Cadbury as a potential suitor, the connection between Alison and Goring grows, culminating in significant and intimate moments that foreshadow deeper entanglements ahead. This early chapter sets the stage for themes of love, social status, and familial duty as Alison grapples with her feelings and the realities of her circumstances.
