"Malcolm" by George MacDonald is a compelling tale set in a quaint fishing village, where the protagonist, Malcolm, encounters eccentric individuals such as Miss Horn and the Mad Laird as he grapples with love, grief, and self-discovery. The narrative starts with Miss Horn's preparations for her cousin Griselda Campbell's funeral, illustrating both the close-knit nature and gossipy undercurrents of the community, especially evident in her interactions with Mrs. Mellis. The story's mood blends humor and sadness, portraying the distinctiveness of each person and the emotional intensity of village existence deepened by the appearance of Barbara Catanach and suggestions of greater mysteries.
