| Summary |
"Rosemary in Search of a Father" by C. N. Williamson and A. M. Williamson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young girl named Rosemary who is living with her mother, Evelyn, and believes she has lost her father at sea. As Christmas approaches, the narrative unfolds in Monte Carlo, contrasting the luxurious setting with the struggles of its protagonists, particularly Rosemary and her yearning for a father figure in her life. At the start of the book, we are introduced to a young man driving through Monte Carlo, feeling a sense of loss and nostalgia for a past love. Meanwhile, Rosemary, a charming little girl, is on a quest to find her absent father, believing that he may return to her on Christmas Eve. The opening scenes establish a sense of melancholy and wonder, particularly through Rosemary's innocent optimism. The young man, Hugh Egerton, unexpectedly crosses paths with the girl, leading to an introduction that hints at intertwined fates and the possibility of fulfilling the voids in both their lives. The opening portion masterfully sets up themes of loss, love, and the hopes of reuniting families amid the backdrop of Christmas festivities. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
