** "Alice Lorraine: A Tale of the South Downs" by R. D. Blackmore is an immersive story painted with vivid descriptions of England's South Downs and the Lorraine family's deep roots there. It begins with the tale of Sir Roland Lorraine, a kind man living an isolated life with his daughter Alice and his mother at Coombe Lorraine. Themes of heritage and personal bonds are quickly painted as Alice seeks answers about her family's past, in part sparked by her father's birthday and stories about an astrologer ancestor named Prince Agasicles. Alice's character comes alive as a curious young soul longing to connect with her ancestors, setting the stage for a narrative about family legacies. **
