| Summary | "Prisoners of Conscience" by Amelia E. Barr is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set in the Shetland Islands, the story follows Liot Borson, a man torn between his pagan ancestry and Christian faith, as he struggles with love, fate, and a dark legacy. The narrative explores themes of familial duty, the weights of history, and the power of love in the face of disaster. At the start of the novel, we meet Liot Borson, a skilled fisherman with a rich heritage steeped in Norse and Christian traditions. His life takes a turn when he meets Karen Sabiston, a beautiful girl drawn to his captivating storytelling. Their growing bond is complicated by the malignant figure of Bele Trenby, who threatens their happiness. As tension mounts between the two men, Liot's internal struggle deepens, particularly regarding his violent ancestry and the looming curse over his family. The opening sets a vivid stage for the ensuing drama that will test the protagonists' strength and beliefs. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
