Summary "The Poacher's Wife" by Eden Phillpotts is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Daniel Sweetland, a young miner with a penchant for poaching game, and his upcoming marriage to Minnie Marshall. Daniel's dual life as a poacher and a loving fiancé creates a complex narrative filled with themes of love, law, and moral dilemmas, particularly as he faces accusations that could ruin his future. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the local dynamics at the "White Hart," a pub where Daniel Sweetland's character and his troubled relationship with his father, Matthew Sweetland, are established. The headgamekeeper is plagued with concern over his son’s penchant for poaching, a habit he has come to adopt despite his father's expectations. As tension builds within this familial setup, the narrative hints at a brewing storm involving rumors of a burglary and growing hostility towards Daniel. The opening not only sets the stage for a love story but also introduces elements of mystery and impending tragedy, leaving readers eager to uncover the fate of both Daniel and Minnie against a backdrop of societal expectations and personal choices.
