Summary

"Trevethlan: A Cornish Story. Volume 2 (of 3)" by William Davy Watson is a mid-19th century historical novel that takes place in Cornwall. It follows the journey of Randolph and Helen Trevethlan, orphaned siblings who find themselves back at their family's castle after being away, only to be confronted by old feelings of dread, heavy responsibilities, and a stark difference from the happy memories of their youth; they try to find their place and deal with their troubled familial connections to their mysterious mother and the problems surrounding their history. When they receive unsettling news of a legal battle with the Pendarrel family, the scene is set for a larger problem, filled with deception that is all tangled up with the worries of the locals as well as the ideas of respect, ancestry, and who people are in 19th-century Cornwall.
