Summary "Flemington" by Violet Jacob is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces us to characters navigating personal and political complexities in early 18th-century Scotland, particularly focusing on Madam Christian Flemington and her grandson, Archie, as they deal with their intertwining past and present, alongside a backdrop of Jacobite sentiment and intrigue. The opening of the novel depicts Reverend Mr. Duthie approaching the house of Ardguys to confront Madam Flemington about her grandson, Archie. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the rural Scottish landscape and introduces the formidable presence of Madam Flemington, who has a mysterious past involving the Jacobite cause and her time in France. Mr. Duthie's awkwardness in her presence highlights her dominating effect on those around her. As tension builds, their interaction offers insights into the family dynamics and societal expectations of the time, setting the stage for Archie's mischievous character and the socio-political undercurrents that will influence their lives.
