Summary "Windyridge" by W. Riley is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the main character, Grace Holden, as she embarks on a life-changing journey to the quaint hamlet of Windyridge, driven by an impulsive desire to escape her past and pursue a more meaningful existence close to nature. Throughout the narrative, Grace's encounters with the local villagers and her adjustment to rural life bring forth themes of self-discovery, community, and the contrasts between city and country living. At the start of the novel, Grace reflects on her decision to leave her life in London behind and seek refuge in Windyridge after being drawn to its serene landscape. As she navigates her emotions and instincts, her inner dialogue reveals a longing for freedom and a connection to her deceased father's memories of the moors. The opening chapters capture her arrival in the village, her interactions with charming locals like the nurturing Mother Hubbard and the candid Farmer Goodenough, and her growing determination to make Windyridge her home. These initial experiences set the stage for Grace's journey of emotional and artistic exploration amid the picturesque Yorkshire countryside. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
